This is We We kicked off our theme of "This is We," and each student was asked to bring in a picture (no larger than a 4x6) of their best self. In the Commons we have a "This is We" wall where we will be displaying all of the pictures. Below is the staff video highlighting their best selves both in their personal and professional life. Absences and Appointments There are two ways to let us know your child will miss part or all of a school day.
Patton Playground: After School Hours If at the end of the day you are staying with your child to play on the Patton playground, please be aware that the CAP (Children at Play) program also utilizes this space at the end of the day. With many children outside, we ask that you are supervising your children and helping us adhere to what we teach the kids at school to be safe, be kind, and follow directions. This way everyone can enjoy the playground at the same time. Thanks in advance! Smart Snacks/Permission Form District 25 offers a number of snacks during the lunch period for students who have a signed permission form. New this year, only two snacks (including milk) may be purchased each day. For details and the form, click here.
