Shout outs
4th Grade showed improved behavior last week! Way to go!

Voice expectations in the hallways
This year we are asking students and adults to maintain zero voices in the hallways after morning announcements. This creates a calm environment that is best for student learning. Students have been doing an outstanding job with this new expectation. Some have even had to remind me about the new rule – which I truly love & appreciate.

Thank you for your help in keeping our school safe.

Reminder: Please complete CNEEB application
Have you completed the CNEEB application? I’m asking all families to complete the application by Oct. 1: It’s important because it helps schools get additional resources for students, and it helps many families directly with benefits like fee waivers for school related activities. It takes about 10 minutes to complete on a phone or computer. Families can choose to translate the application in their preferred language Questions? Contact our front office or email householdapplication@tacoma.k12.wa.us.

Complete the cneed application

I look forward to seeing you and your family at our events this month! 😊
