Please note.

This Tuesday, March 18 is an early out day with dismissal at 2:18 for teachers to participate in their Professional Learning Communities study.

Book Fair News!

Thank you to all of you who supported our latest Book Fair with your time, flexibility, and patronage. While it was a looong week, we beat our previous spring sales total by leaps and bounds! Lee's Booksellers gives us 20% of all sales, which totaled $880. That's about 50-60 new books for our library!

“What's Our Job?

When asked, "What's our job as a great parent or great teacher?" most people say something like, "To raise or help create really respectful and responsible kids." Our good friend and co-founder of Love and Logic, Foster W. Cline, M.D., disagrees. Dr. Cline argues:

It's not our job to raise responsible kids. Our job is to consistently do the things that give kids an opportunity to become responsible.”
