March News

Principal's Message~ 
The annual Young Knight's Fair was held this past Saturday. We had the pleasure of meeting 42 new Kindergarten Knights that will be joining us in the fall. The enthusiasm for school that our youngest students show is such a sight to see! If you were not able to make it or know of a family who has a child in our boundaries turning 5 by September 1st, please connect them with our office staff to get registered for the upcoming school year. We plan for staffing and sectioning for kindergarten now, so the earlier incoming families register, the better! No payment is required at the time of registration. Our goal at this time is to get as accurate a count as possible. The new school year will be here before you know it!
