A note from our Computer Teacher Mrs. Quissell
Welcome back to school! We have hit the ground running in Computer. In grades 3-6th we have been busy practicing how to log in to devices and explore G. Suite tools. In grades, K-2nd students have been learning about the different parts of a computer and its function. The younger students will work to learn all of the different parts of a keyboard. The older students are continuing to work on typing proficiency. For typing games and other age-appropriate computer-related games, check out Mrs. Quissell's site HERE.
Recess Clarification
All Preschool Students will stay out of the playground before school in the mornings. Please drop your child off on the playground on the west side of the school. If it is raining outside before school all K-6th grade students will report to the gym. PS will report to their classrooms.

Preschool Drop-Off
We are grateful for the new playground reconfiguration. However, we have had to make some adjustments regarding door entrance and exits for our preschool students.

Starting Monday, November 1st, we would like our Preschool students to enter the playground from the Lake Ave gate (southeast side of the school). We will have one supervisor at Lake Ave. Playground gate to assist the students. If you also have a child in Preschool and K-6th grade, please use the Lake Ave entrance.
