DEN OFFICE HOUR CHANGES

The DEN office has been open from 8:00-1:00 Mon-Thurs to facilitate families access to materials needed.  We believe that most all families now have materials except for packet pick up and drop off.  We will be open ONLY Thursdays from 8:00-1:00 beginning next week for parent packet pick up and drop off.  

HOWEVER, if you need anything you can call the office number (289-4846) and the secretaries will help you or you can call the principal (293-1635).  We WILL come to the school by appointment should you need something essential.

NO SCHOOL BEGINNING Monday, March 16 until further notice.  Please know:

"This decision is not made out of fear, paranoia, or overreaction.  Rather, it is a proactive and progressive measure designed to do our part to flatten the curve."  Adam Young, District Superintendent

We love, value, and teach by nurturing the whole child.

Vision:

All children will know they are valued and loved, empowering them to become exceptional learners and successful leaders.  They will show consistent improvement on measured assessments ensuring they are grade level prepared to enter middle school by the end of 5th grade.

Belief:

When children know they are loved and valued, they will learn to love themselves and the world around them. This will give them the intrinsic desire to be the best they can. It will enrich their academic, social and personal lives, creating successful individuals and leaders.
