Parent Survey
To encourage two-way communication, I have created this short survey for parents to complete. Your anonymous opinion gives us feedback to help identify elements of our school that are working well and helps us plan improvements for the future. We value your opinion and appreciate you taking time to complete this short survey. See the link below.

Scholastic Book fair
Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair starts next Monday! Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.
Here are some details that you need to know about the book fair, scheduled for Monday, November 13th to Sunday, November 26th.
Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the
Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each
child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.
If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship
directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will
also benefit our school.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:
