🚗💜💛 Car Rider Safety Reminders
Viking families, please take a moment to review these important reminders for morning drop-off and afternoon pickup. Following these procedures helps us keep our car rider line safe, smooth, and efficient for everyone!
A few key reminders:
🚙 Enter through the first elementary school entrance.
➡️ Choose the correct lane and remain in that lane—if continuing to the middle school, please use the right lane.
🚗 Parents and guardians must remain in their vehicles during arrival and dismissal.
✋ During morning drop-off, please wait for an adult’s signal before unloading in the Front or Back Zone.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and for helping us keep our Vikings safe each day! 💜💛

Book Fair Update: Day 6! 🎉
We did it! We officially reached 100% of our Fall Book Fair goal!
A huge thank-you to everyone who shopped at our Fall Book Fair and supported our school library. Your generosity and enthusiasm are truly appreciated!
We would also like to extend a special thank-you to everyone who helped set up, worked during the book fair, and assisted with packing everything away. Mrs. Dawnie and I could not have done it without your time, hard work, and support.
It truly does take a Community, and we are so fortunate to have such an amazing one! Thank you for making this book fair a success!
