  • If your son/daughter is a safety, please have them check around for a safety belt or two because we do not have enough safety belts at school for our current safeties.
  • As stated in the note sent home in January, we have experienced many changes in funding for our extracurricular activities. Because fifth grade camp serves as a culminating activity for our students, we will not have a formal fifth grade celebration. Instead, on Thursday, June 4, the teachers have planned a fun end-of-the year punch and cake social at Georgetown for our fifth graders. This activity is for students only; no volunteers are needed at this time.
