UK Day and Popcorn Party on Friday!

Important Dates:

3/1 (Friday)- UK Day & Popcorn Party

Our students filled up our jar again! They did a great job as a whole class in the hallway, at lunch, at specials and in the classroom! We voted and UK Day won, but we asked Mrs. Candy nicely if she would help us make popcorn using the school popcorn machine. She said Yes! So please send your child to school in BLUE and/or WHITE on Friday for a fun day!

Cafeteria Numbers

To begin to prepare students for 1st Grade, students will begin to enter their “Lunch Numbers” into a Keypad. Mrs. Candy has created a pretend keypad for students to practice their specific number and be able to enter it into the keypad in the lunch line in the upcoming weeks. Please help your child learn their “Lunch Number” at home. Thank you!

Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Packet

In the event of a Snow Day, where students do not attend school, students are to complete work at home.

This work was sent home in your child’s folder. It consists of a Packet of Snow Day Work. Please keep this work in the back pocket of your child’s folder so it does not get lost. On a snow day, please complete the snow day work. A variety of activities are listed for each content area,
