Happy Sunday Van families!
We are looking forward to so many things this week.
Tuesday at 6 pm is meet the Teacher night. We look forward to seeing you all there
Friday is our first PBIS award ceremony. Due to space this is by invite only if your scholar is getting an award this month, so please keep an eye out for invitations.
Our carpool line is moving faster and we thank you for all of your help with this.
Later this week, you will notice we will have no access to our playground as they will be installing a new sidewalk for the bus students. This will cut down on the mud and help in the winter 🎉
Have a great week!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday at 6 pm for Back to School Night 🐾🐾

Good morning Van Families!
August is coming fast and we have been hard at work moving all of the furniture and learning materials from Van to Fulton. Just a reminder: There is a welcome gathering on 8/19 at Fulton. At this time we will provide tours of the building, just remember many classrooms will not be fully set up as it is still many days before the start of school.
There will be a presentation about arrival and dismissal as well as a welcome for new students at this time. we look forward to seeing you on 8/19 from 12-2 pm.
