Weekly Parent Update

March 15, 2026

Hello Bobcat Families!

It was wonderful to see so many families at our Literacy Night Thursday! Thank you for joining us and making it such a successful evening—your support truly makes our school community special. As we look at the calendar, it’s hard to believe we are only one week away from Spring Break! While we are all looking forward to some rest, the second half of the year is a critical time for student growth. Consistent attendance over these next few months ensures your child stays on track with new concepts and finishes the year strong. We appreciate you partnering with us to make every school day count!

Spring Picture Day!

Spring Picture Day is this week on Thursday, March 19th!

Have you met Bobbi?

Whether bringing school spirit to our morning drop-offs or cheering on our students during special events, we love having Bobbi around. We also want to assure our families that safety is our top priority. Just like any other parent or community member who helps out on campus, the individual behind our beloved mascot has completed our district’s official volunteer background check and clearance process.

Where you might spot Bobbi this month:

High-fives and paw-shakes at Friday morning arrivals
Cheering on our students at upcoming assemblies

March Virtue

This month's virtue is Self-Control! Our staff will be on the lookout for students showing self-control this month! We have talked about how to practice self-control to one another in class, during recess, lunch and when others least expect it!
