It has been a pleasure getting to know all of you and your students! I appreciate everyone being so understanding with our mid-year move. This year has been a journey and I am so proud of all of the students adjusting to the changes.

Congratulations to our graduates! We will miss your smiling faces but I know you will continue to grow and prosper!

To our returning students, I know you will continue to grow over the summer and I am looking forward to seeing you in the fall! I will contact families towards the end of summer to touch base and relay any important information.

1st Day of School!

All of the students did great on the 1st day of school! We even had an extra set of hands from our speech teacher Ms. Nicole. Here is her email address if you would like to reach out. diclaudio@appublicschools.com

Every student went home with an orange folder. This will be their Daily Folder to bring back to school each day. Today I sent home a school agreement. Please look over the expectations and briefly discuss them with your child. On the ‘Student’s Signature’ line, you can print their name. At your earliest convenience please send it back in your student’s Daily Folder.

Some of you may have a photo release form as well. Please fill it out and send it back in the Daily Folder.

Make sure to check out the Class Dojo! Ms. Patty got some great 1st Day Pictures!
