A broken glass bottle lies on a white surface, with shards scattered around it.

Broken Glass!

Please don't send glass containers to school with your students. Unfortunately, kids love to throw their lunch boxes and back packs around. Waterbottles are getting broken, food containers are being smashed and glass gets everywhere! It is messy and dangerous and lunches have to be thrown away.
 

SBA Testing in May:

Our 3rd-5th graders will be taking their Washington State Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) test in May and June. As much as possible, avoid scheduling appointments for these testing dates. Ensure your child arrives at school on time. Try to have your child get a good night’s rest and have your child eat a healthy breakfast.
