Parents, As you know we have been somewhat lax in adhering to our posted dress code. In order to show more pride in our school, we are asking everyone to revisit the regulations and help us ensure compliance. Beginning Monday, February 24, students will be expected to be dressed appropriately. If an elementary student comes to school out of compliance, they will receive a non-compliance slip that requires a parent's signature and must be returned the next day. Please help us enforce the policy so that our focus can remain on instruction in the classroom. Thank you!

Grade-specific brochures were sent home last week. As soon as registration opens, we will let you know!

Come cheer on our school winner, 5th grader, Riya Gartia, in the Regional Spelling Bee on Saturday, March 8 at 8am in the school auditorium. She will be competing against other school winners in the area for a chance to represent Baton Rouge at the National Scripps Spelling Bee in May. We are so proud of Riya!!!

Kid's Heart Challenge Update |
If at least 50% of students in a classroom sign up and three students complete Finn's mission, the class will earn two Amazon gift cards for classroom needs! We are anxious to see which class has the most students signed up and completing Finn’s Mission.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a smooth and effective testing process for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the school office.
