March Madness Starting March 4, 2024, each grade level will go full court press against their grade level teammates and compete for the BEST attendance for the week. Every week the homeroom with the greatest attendance will charge to the next week until we are down to the last greatest homeroom with the ultimate attendance. Then the final buzzer beater will be the week of March 25, 2024, where all of the homerooms will box out to achieve the number one seed. (March Madness includes ALL tardies and ALL absences)

Making "HISS -tory"... The Second Grade Team, Mrs. Kellar, Mrs. Ridenour, and Mrs. Wilson, has created a “Love and Kindness” Snake with the assistance of their learners using rocks donated by May Brothers Company. Our learning community is encouraged to “add a painted rock”. Let’s see how long we can make the snake grow!

Attention PK and Kindergarten families: To aid a more efficient drop off and pick up line we are asking that children who need to be unbuckled or buckled in their car seats use the middle lane of the parking lot. Please assist your child out of their car seat and walk them to the front sidewalk. At that time the staff on duty will help them into the entrance of the schoo. Thank You!!
