The summer learning experience for students invited for promotion and for the Rising K Academy starts on June 10th and ends on June 28th. June 19th is a holiday, and we will not have school. Student hours are from 8:00 AM-2:00 PM. If your child is a car rider, you can drop them off at 7:45 AM and pick them up at 2:00 PM. Car riders should drive around the back of the school and line up at the stop sign. Please do not drop off in the bus lane. If students are riding the bus, parents can log on to the parent portal on June 5th to see the bus stop location and approximate pickup and drop-off times. Students who will be car riders in the afternoon will receive their number on the first day of class. Please hang this number in your window. Lunch and breakfast will be provided at school or students can bring their lunch from home. It is recommended that they bring a snack each day and a water bottle.

Look at these amazing explorers!
Our 1st graders just finished a fantastic project all about landforms! They learned about mountains, volcanoes, valleys, and so much more.

The hard work wasn't just creating Google Slides! The real magic was learning to give constructive and kind feedback to their fellow classmates.

We're so proud of their creativity and hard work!

Get ready for some fun as we focus on Creativity this month! One way to think about
Creativity is “using your imagination to create something new or solve a
problem.” Opportunities to be Creative are all around us! How can you find ways to be
Creative as a family this month?
