6th-graders hit the ground running this year as they participated in team building activities during their first week in Ms. Walls's class.








We're still dreaming about those first day vibes!









IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is our goal to make sure that all students make it home safely at the end of every school day. To help ensure this, we have specific traffic patterns to follow when picking up your child as a car rider in the afternoons. All car rider students have been given a blue or green sign with their name on it and a hanger. The sign must be hung at all times in the car rider line so that staff assisting with car rider students can clearly see the sign and ensure that the adult has permission to pick up that student.
K-2 afternoon car rider students dismiss at the front entrance of the building. Any 3rd-6th grade afternoon car rider who rides with a K-2 student also dismisses at the front entrance.
3rd-6th grade afternoon car rider students dismiss by the greenhouse. All adults picking a student there, must enter our car rider line with a right-hand turn, no left-hand turns off of the service road.



Monday, July 31st is MST Independence Day!
MST students have done an awesome job learning routines. Monday, July 31st, they will start walking into the building and to classrooms independently. Should anyone need a helping hand, our staff will be there to assist. The adults have been great, but it's time for the students to go solo.
Wear your red, white, and blue to celebrate!


Tomorrow is the day!!! We can't wait to see everyone in the morning!
