The First Day Is Almost Here!

Wolf families,
Itโ€™s almost time! Monday, August 10th marks the first day of school, and we are so looking forward to welcoming our Wolves back to campus for a brand-new school year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Meet Your Wolfpack on Friday. It was wonderful to see our campus filled with smiles, familiar faces, new connections, and the energy that comes with a fresh start. We are ready for a great year together!

If you were unable to attend Meet Your Wolfpack, no worries! Dismissal placards will be available Monday morning in front of the office to help make afternoon dismissal as smooth as possible.

๐Ÿพ A Mix of Emotions
The first day of school can bring a mix of emotions. Some students may walk through the gates ready to go, while others may need a little extra reassurance. Some may be eager to see friends, while others may feel nervous about what the day will bring.

Whatever your child is feeling, itโ€™s okay.
Our team will have all hands on deck Monday morning to welcome our Wolves, help them find their way, and make sure they feel safe, supported, and ready to begin their day.

As we begin our year with Every Moment Matters, remember that the little things can make a big difference.
A smile.
A warm greeting.
A reassuring hug.
A confident goodbye.

These moments help children know:
โ€œI am safe. I belong. I am ready.โ€

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Safety First at Arrival

As we welcome everyone back, safety remains our top priority.
A few important arrival reminders:

Front gates open at 7:30 AM for students who are having breakfast.
  • TK/K gates open at 7:40 AM.
  • Please plan to have all students on campus by 8:00 AM so they are ready to begin the school day on time.

Please remain outside the gates when dropping off students.
  • Keep goodbyes short, sweet, and positive.
  • Please follow the directions of our staff during arrival.

We know those first-day goodbyes can be difficult. A simple, confident โ€œHave a great day! I canโ€™t wait to hear all about it this afternoon!โ€ can help your child feel ready to take that next step.

๐Ÿ’š A New Year. A Fresh Start. Every Moment Matters.
There is something special about the beginning of a school year.
New friendships.
New discoveries.
New challenges.
New goals.
New memories waiting to be made.

There will be big accomplishments and small victories, moments of laughter and moments when we need to try again. Through it all, we have the opportunity to make each moment meaningful.

Because Every Moment Matters.

We are ready to welcome our Wolves, build connections, learn together, and make this a year to remember.

We canโ€™t wait to see you Monday morning! ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’š

Hereโ€™s to a wonderful first day and an incredible year ahead!

Your Proud Principal,
Mrs. Valenta

๐Ÿ“š Welcome Back! Back-to-School Night & Minimum Day Reminder

๐Ÿซ Back to School Night
We are looking forward to welcoming our parents and guardians to Back to School Night!

This is the one event during the school year when, when possible, we ask that adults attend without students. Due to limited space in our classrooms, this helps ensure that everyone has a comfortable place to participate and allows us to focus the evening on the information parents and guardians need to know.

Teachers will share important information about:
  • Classroom expectations
  • Daily routines and procedures
  • Communication
  • Learning expectations
  • Field trips and plans for the year
  • Ways you can support your child throughout the year

I will also host two 15-minute Admin Information Sessions where I will share general school information. Families may choose to attend one session before or after their childโ€™s classroom presentation.
