Great message on the hallway bulletin board created by our talented and creative para, Sandy Kristensen!
The middle school sciences have been busy learning about key concepts about cells in life science, air and water movement during Earth science, and forms of energy in physical science. Next week, life science will make their own cells, Earth science will do an experiment to model water and air pressure, and physical science will construct roller coasters to model energy transfers.
Fifth grade has been hard at work! This morning we got our minds and bodies moving by acting out our key vocabulary for the week. Then we calmed it down by reviewing place value concepts in Math! This is what a hardworking bunch of kids looks like!

The Algebra 1 classes started their algebra journey with a sorting activity. In groups of three, students were asked to sort several graphs in any way they want based on what they see and know already. We hope to see how much we grew at the end of the year!
The kindergarten class went on a bear hunt! The bears were located all over the school building. Now we know where to find all the important places we will go to this school year, like the music room, gym, lunchroom and library.
Good Morning PSD Families:
During the school day and especially during drop off/pick up times, please remember that the front parking lot is ONE WAY. Enter from the east and exit through the west. Please help us keep your students safe in the parking lot. Please let anyone that may be dropping off/picking up your student know about the ONE WAY. Thank you.
Third graders are all smiles as the 2024-25 school year is off and running!
