1st & 3rd Grade Art Students Learn About Picasso & Mattisse
Art Teacher, Mrs. Wagner, has been teaching our 1st & 3rd-graders about two giants in the art world, the surrealist Picasso and the fauvist Mattisse. Students read the book "When Pigasso met Mootisse" by Nina Laden and then discussed how each artist created art differently. The first graders created an air-dry clay 'Pigasso' and made a big art mess for him to sit on. Third-graders then created miniature art galleries with hanging artwork on the walls, complete with a clay-modeled 'Mootisse' to sit in their galleries.

Student dismissal is a very busy time in the front office. To ensure a smooth transition furin dismissal each day, we ask:
- Notify the office in writing if there is any change in how your child will get home from school.
- Notify the school when you need to check your child out early for a doctor's appointment or emergency. ALL changes to travel method home must be PRIOR 1:30 PM. We need ample time to notify teachers and staff.
- A valid ID is always required to check your child out of school.
To ensure the safety of our students - the office will be closed for pick up between 2:45 and 3:15 pm, except in the case of emergencies or doctor's appointments.
Be advised that leaving campus early can negatively impact a student's academic success.
Three unexcused tardies or three unexcused early dismissals count as an unexcused absence for attendance monitoring. In order for any tardy or early dismissal to be excused, a note from the doctor or dentist must be brought to the school.
Schools are required by state statute to monitor attendance and report students who have excessive unexcused absences.
