📚🐻 BEAR Time Reminder! 🐻📚
Every day from 2:45–3:15, our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students participate in BEAR Time
This is a critical part of the school day when:
✨ Students receive targeted intervention to strengthen missing skills.
✨ Students who have mastered grade-level standards engage in extension activities to keep them challenged and growing.
👉 Because BEAR Time is so important, we kindly ask families to avoid early checkouts during this time so students don’t miss out on valuable learning opportunities.
Thank you for helping us make every minute count for our students’ success! 💙🐾

Our 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders participated in their monthly morning assembly today!
🌟 They learned about the importance of mindset, mastery and momentum. Be sure to ask them about those words and what they mean for our school!
The word of the month is “empathy” and we have challenged our students to show empathy during school and after! 🤝
