Dear Sprague Families,

Thank you for joining the festive Halloween parade.  It was sheer joy to see many families present along with the simple fact of being able to host the event.  Things continue to look brighter!

Thank you for the collaboration for the sake of all our students.  With conferences starting last week, it has been a pleasure to see families entering and exiting the building while others are collaborating via Zoom.  Either way, the collaboration is well underway and it is comforting to know that our shared goals for students are being executed together.  Thank you for your support.

I would also like to recognize the many teachers/staff that place great emphasis on the importance of conferences.  The diligence with planning and specificity about students is invaluable.  

Happy Halloween and please enjoy your well-deserved weekend!

Safety Reminders

  • Before school and after school are busy with walkers of all sorts during drop-off and dismissal

  • I continue to ask for your diligence and vigilance during these busy times!

  • Please use crosswalks when entering/exiting school!  Darting through car line is never a safe choice and one that is seen too often.

  • Traveling at slow speeds through the parking lot is always expected and appreciated
