Regular School Events

Monday Morning Meeting
Each Monday morning, the entire school meets in the gym for Morning Meeting. Students take full responsibility by running the meeting and presenting classroom news. Students from each grade level share class curriculum happenings by presenting student artifacts across curriculum areas as they explain what they have been learning. Student birthdays of the week are celebrated, community songs are sung, and upcoming events are announced. Morning Meeting is a fun and motivating way to build our K-5 community, communicate news, and celebrate the extraordinary learning that takes place at our wonderful school.

Social Curriculum
We have a school-wide social curriculum that empowers all students to be responsible, respectful, and safe.

PTO
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) meets monthly to collaborate with staff to provide support and enrichment opportunities and to discuss educational topics.

Reading Mentors
We currently have 8 reading mentors (community members) who come in once a week to read with students.

Day Care
Contact with the Children's Workshop provides for positive transitions to and from day care.
