Dear 5th Grade Families:
This year, our fifth grade students will be purchasing their Yearbooks online directly from the publishing company, Jostens.
Students and their families are to use the following link to purchase the Yearbook:

Dear 5th Grade Parents-
We just received some beginning information on this year’s Middle School Application process.
You can read more about it here and as we get more information, I will let you know.

Good afternoon 5th Grade Parents-
When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade!
While graduation won’t happen in the traditional sense, we are working on a virtual graduation to honor our amazing 5th grade students and celebrate their accomplishments with you.
We will be holding 5th Grade Moving-up Ceremony on Thursday June 18, and will announce the time and virtual platform shortly.
My suggested next step for you is to decide on how you can make this day special at home for your children. Whether it’s ordering a special meal, cooking your your child’s favorite dish, or having a Zoom celebration with your family, etc- find a way to create a memory for your child so they look back and say, “Even though we didn’t have it in the school, it was still an amazing day!”
More details coming soon…
