We are excited to invite YOU to our new Picnic on the Patio events! Each class will have (4) scheduled patio picnics in the fall and spring months (2 in the fall/2 in the spring). You are invited to come have lunch with your child. Everyday throughout the week, a few classes will host a super casual Picnic on the Patio. We want you to come and join us....just for lunch! This is NOT a special event and there is NOT a program planned but for anyone that would love to eat lunch with their child, this is the event for you!

You may bring lunch but NO peanut products.

In the event of inclement weather, your teacher will send a cancellation via Talking Points. We will follow our temperature regulations as well.
Whitney is so deserving of Tomahawk of the Week! She juggles it all — phone calls, work orders, Talking Points issues, bus changes, and a constant stream of teacher questions — all with grace, a smile, and a can-do attitude. She’s incredibly organized, always ready to lend a hand, and keeps the front desk running smoothly and efficiently. We’re lucky to have her and so proud she’s part of our front office team!
Each week, our Tomahawk of the Week will be sharing their top tip to help you and your student make the most of the school year! These helpful insights are designed to support learning, build strong routines, and strengthen the home-school connection.
Tip of the Week: Make sure you have your ID or Car Tag ready when you come in to check out your child....whether it's during the school day, from FIT Kids, car rider line, or after a special event. If a friend is picking up your child, make sure they have the tag or that they are listed on the pick up list. This helps us dismiss your child quickly AND safely!
Congratulations, Whitney! We are so glad you are part of Tomahawk Nation!
Chosen by our school administrators, these students have shown outstanding perseverance, leadership, and a positive attitude both in and out of the classroom. Through hard work and determination, they've overcome challenges and consistently lead by example.
Keep shining, Ellie, Gael, and Johnsen — your Tomahawk family is cheering you on! 💙💛
