From the Office of Steve Kelnhofer, P3 - 8th Grade Principal

Dear Parents,

 

Welcome! It is good that we are together again and get to greet each other at the doorstep of a new school year! 

 

Excitement and opportunity! Those two words explain what I felt as we encountered our first couple days of school. As we look into the future of the 19-20 school year, those two words may help define the success that is achieved. Please know we have the best interest of your student(s) at heart and will journey together with you this school year to find success and achievement. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need to seek understanding, have a positive comment, or just need an ear to listen. Let’s join together and provide excitement and opportunity for learning this school year.

 

Love and Logic Tip of the Week 

Accountability isn’t easy – but it is necessary.

 

God Bless,

Steven Kelnhofer

News and Information

Morning Drop off Reminder for P3 - 5th Grade

The South Hall doors open at 7:50 a.m. each morning. They will lock again at 8:00 a.m. when the school day starts. Students are to remain outside in the holding zone behind school if they arrive before 7:50 a.m. This “holding zone” service starts at 7:35 a.m. The other choice would be to enroll in the Before School Care program.

 

Students will be let in early if it’s determined they will be too wet by standing outside or if it is below zero windchill.

 

Thank you for your help and understanding.
