Principal’s Message:
Dear Imai Families,
We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow at the Open House. During this time, you and your child will get to celebrate the learning that has happened over the past year. Please remember that Open House is not a time for individual conferences with the teacher, but a chance to celebrate all the learning over the last year.
- 5:30-7:30 PM Art Show in MUR
- 6:00-7:00 PM Classrooms open
Thank you to all of the mom’s that helped with our Celebrating Women’s Voices Assembly this morning. Our students learned so much from the presentations. We are so fortunate to be able to showcase leaders amongst our school community.
CAASPP Presentation (grades 3-5 state testing important information)
Just a friendly reminder that there is no school next Monday. Monday, March 25, 2024, is a professional work day for teachers. There is no school for students.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
