Message from our Principal
Welcome Back Fireweed Family!
I cannot wait to see your faces, and even more excited to see your kids. I hope this summer was full of rest, adventure, and time spent as a family! As for my own, Mary and I welcomed our new son on July 12th, Charlies (Charlie) Moon Darbonne – I’m sure you’ll be seeing him around the school.
Here are some important items to get our year kicked off:
Lunch Program:
This application for Free and Reduced meals is the primary indicator and pathway for us to regain our Title 1 services. I encourage you to fill out this form even if you don’t think you will qualify. http://mealapp.kpbsd.org
Communication
- ‘2,4,6,8, how do we communicate?’ Mostly through email! You can also find information on our school website, Facebook, and Instagram pages (links in my signature below).
- I’m here for you if you need to communicate anything via phone or in person. Have a concern or a celebration? You know where to find me!
- We will continue with our “Weekly Update” slides format so when you see those slides hit your inbox on Fridays, make sure to look through!
- We are playing with the idea of using ‘Remind’ as another avenue for increased communication – more to come on this if we decide to go this route.
- If you’re looking for me in person, my general schedule will be starting at Little Fireweed M/W/F and Big T/Th while switching around lunchtime.
I have an ‘open door’ policy and welcome any communication, feedback, or ideas that you would like to share with me.
