We are looking forward to a wonderful final week leading up to Spring Break. We have four fun-filled days planned for our students, and we can’t wait to celebrate their hard work!

🏆 Celebrating Our Tigers

First, a huge thank you to all the families who joined us last week to celebrate our Tigers' accomplishments during our awards assemblies. It was wonderful to see so many of you there supporting our students!

We are also incredibly proud of all our Tigers who participated in Cinderella with the Missoula Children's Theater. It is truly impressive that they put together such an amazing presentation in just five days. A special thanks to Maestra Cooper for all the tireless "behind the scenes" work she did to make the production a success!

Prohibited Beverages on Campus

To maintain a clean, focused, and healthy learning environment, we would like to provide a reminder regarding our campus beverage policy.

As part of our commitment to the wellness policy, we actively promote healthy habits by encouraging students to choose water or nutritional drinks during the school day. Consequently, Starbucks (or similar coffee shop drinks), sodas, and all other canned beverages are prohibited on campus.

We have recently noticed an increase in these beverages being brought to school in the mornings. Please note that these drinks are not permitted anywhere on school grounds, including outdoor areas and classrooms. Aside from supporting our wellness goals, this rule is essential for:

Campus Maintenance: Preventing sticky spills and stains on carpets and desks.
Pest Control: Reducing the presence of ants and other pests attracted to sugary residues.
Focus: Minimizing distractions during instructional time.

We kindly ask that you ensure your student does not bring these items to school. We appreciate your partnership in keeping our campus clean and helping our students stay healthy and ready to learn.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.

Lost and Found

Please make sure to stop by the lost and found while you are on campus. Any items not picked up before Spring Break will be donated.
