Tech-Tastic Tips for the Holiday Season
The holiday season sees many young people creating wishlists filled with tech-related gifts like smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles; however, it's still important to maintain their online safety and digital wellness despite the festive excitement.
Use relaxed holiday downtime to bond with your child over tech activities, understand their online experiences, and balance screen time with tech-free activities.

Hi everyone 😀 We are canceling the general FSA meeting for tonight because the board will be using that time to get the library set up for the Holiday Shop, which starts Friday morning 😀
We still need more volunteers so FSA members, check the sign up genius sent on Nov 20 and help whenever you are available, even if it is not your child's class time!!!! 😀
There are a few changes to note from original times!!! 😀 Some 4th grade classes needed to change times due to their concert rehearsal so note the new times if you are signing up to help with the following classes.:
Miss Leone's class will still be Fri 12/5, but at 940am instead of 842am.
Mrs. McFarland's class will shop Mon 12/8 at 940am instead of 842am.
Ms. Reyes' Wed 12/10 is not rescheduled yet.
Ms. Baki's class will all shop on Fri 12/12 instead of split in half like their usual specials.
Mrs. Dickerson's class will shop Fri 12/5 at 930am.
Thank you all so much and we appreciate everyone's help and understanding!!!! 😀💖
Every school day matters. When students are healthy and able to attend, it gives them the chance to keep learning, connect with friends, and grow both socially and academically.
Please refer to the school calendar when planning your vacations. Your support makes such a difference in helping children feel connected and prepared!
Due to the short week and Giving Tree, FSA's November School Store will be postponed.
Unclaimed items will be donated on December 1st.
