Mrs. Harrison’s second graders put their problem-solving skills to the test, worked as a team, and showed off just how much they’ve learned in 100 days by completing a math escape room. They also raced to finish the missing 100s chart. We are 100 days smarter and still climbing!

This is a reminder for families attending Valentine’s parties today that all visitors must bring a valid form of identification and check in through the front office using our new check-in system before going to classrooms.

Please note that this new system may take longer than usual, so we strongly encourage you to arrive early to allow enough time to check in and avoid missing any part of your child’s party.

Additionally, with this new system, all students must be checked out through the system if you plan to take your child home after the party.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our campus safe and secure. We appreciate your help in making today a fun and smooth celebration for everyone!

We look forward to celebrating with you.

📌 Important Check-In Reminder:
As we pilot a new front office check-in/check-out system, all adults will be required to have a valid form of identification scanned before being allowed into the building to attend parties or other school events, even if it was previously scanned with our old system. This process takes a bit longer the first time your ID is scanned than our old system.

⏱️ To help make party day run smoothly, we STRONGLY encourage parents/guardians to stop by the front office anytime TODAY during school hours to have their ID scanned ahead of time. This will greatly expedite the check-in process on class party day.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we roll out this new system in every attempt to keep our students and staff safe. We can't wait to celebrate with our students!
