Principal's message

Bear Families,

With just 13 school days remaining in the year, we are excited to finish the semester strong! Our students and staff continue to work hard each day, and we look forward to celebrating all of the growth, accomplishments, and special moments that have made this year so meaningful.

As we approach the end of the school year, please continue encouraging your child to attend school daily, stay focused, and give their best effort. There are still many important learning opportunities and memorable events ahead. Including the Spring Outstanding Student Ceremony on May 27 after school in the cafeteria. We look forward to recognizing and celebrating our students’ hard work, achievements, and growth throughout the year during this special event. More information will be shared soon.

Also, the yearbook staff has worked incredibly hard on this year’s edition, and we are excited to announce that the 2025–2026 Yearbooks have arrived! Students may pick up their yearbooks before school on Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12 from 7:55–8:15 a.m. Pickup tables will be located:

Front entrance for 6th grade

Small gym for 7th grade

Big gym for 8th grade

To pick up a purchased yearbook, students only need to provide their first and last name. If your yearbook order was paid in full, your copy will be ready for pickup.

Didn’t purchase a yearbook yet? A limited number of extra copies will be available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis. Yearbooks are $60, so be sure to stop by Monday or Tuesday while supplies last!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make these final 13 days a great finish to an outstanding school year! 😊

- Mr. Lancaster
