✅ Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep before testing days.
✅ Start the day with a healthy, balanced breakfast.
✅ Arrive to school on time to avoid any added stress.

Important Repeat Information

       

As the weather can change rapidly this time of year, it's important that students come prepared with layered clothing to stay comfortable throughout the day. Layers allow for easy adjustments as temperatures fluctuate. We also encourage families to label all clothing, including jackets, sweaters, and hats, to help prevent lost items. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping students warm and organized!

Morning Supervision

This is a friendly reminder that our school gates do not open for breakfast until 7:20 AM. If you arrive before this time, please note that there is no supervision available and you will need to stay with your student. We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep all students safe!

Regular Attendance

Regular attendance fosters consistency, which is vital for academic success and social development. It helps students stay engaged, build routines, and develop time management skills essential for future endeavors. Additionally consistent attendance ensures that students don't miss out on valuable learning opportunities, such as classroom discussions, hands on activities and interactions with peers and teachers.
