Check out Mr. Meador or first Watchdog for the 2026-27 school year. As a Watchdog, he spent the day on campus assisting from morning arrival until dismissal. He supported the library, did safety walks in the hallway, attended PE and recess with his 1st grade son Jackson and enjoyed a special lunch with him. A highlight for watchdogs is reading a book to their child's class. For more information about Watchdogs, visit mireles.ptboard.com .

Thank you to all of our parents who were able to attend Open Houses this week. If you were not able to attend but would like to meet with the teacher, please contact them through ClassDojo or email to request a meeting.
