Family Reading Night: All students are asked to participate in our Family Reading Night this evening, April 17, beginning at 6 pm in the gymnasium.
Pay Green to Wear Green: If you would like to wear green in honor of Earth Day on April 22, then pay $1.00 to Student Council. Please support our last fund raiser this year!
Parent/Teacher Conferences: Next Thursday, April 24, school will dismiss at noon for Parent/Teacher Conferences. A form was sent home this week with your child to choose the time for your conference. Students will not need lunch on this day unless they are staying for Afterschool Care, which will run from 12:15-5:45 pm. If you want your child to have your child in Afterschool Care while meeting with your child’s teacher, please let Sondra know. Students will not be charged for Aftercare during the conference.
Baltimore Aquarium Field Trip: We are having an all-school field trip on Wednesday, April 30th. Our doors will be closed for the day. Parents will take their children directly to the aquarium. If you are planning to go, please return the form that was sent home a few weeks ago, along with payment. Our group gets a special rate for the entrance fee. If you do not turn in the money and form ahead of time, you will have to pay the full price.
Dinner Theater: On Friday, May 9th our 2nd/3rd graders will present a musical, “Kids Praise! A Joy-fulliest Noise”. Dinner will begin at 5:30 pm, followed by the musical at 6:30 pm. To buy your tickets, please stop by the school office. The cost is $5 child/$8 adult. At the door: $7 child/$10 adult. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors. This fundraiser will go toward technology.
Hold Your Seat: It is once again that time of year to make sure that your child has a spot for the next school year. Please return the form and payment of $225 to be sure your child has a seat. On May 10 the fee will increase to $250. Only $175 will be credited toward the first month’s tuition.
Lunch Orders: Please remember to put only one child’s name on each lunch order. Lunch orders are sent home with every child on Fridays.
Absences: Please remember that if your child is sick or has an excusable absence, that a note or email needs to be sent to Kim Harris at kimharris@go2rks.com.
Hope Scholarship: Students currently participating in the program must submit their Continued Participation Confirmation (CPC) in the Hope Scholarship Portal by June 15, 2025. Late CPCs will not be accepted.
