We hope you all had a wonderful break and enjoyed the snow last week! It was great seeing all the pictures shared on our Facebook page that you all shared of your kiddos enjoying the snow. We are excited to be back this semester and see all of our returning faces plus many new faces that have joined us this semester. Let's make this semester just as great as the first semester!

A Few Important Reminders:

• Start Time: Our school day starts promptly at 8:35 AM. Please make sure your child arrives on time, ready to learn and engage in the day’s activities.

• Stay Connected: Keep up with important updates through our communication channels, including weekly newsletter, push notifications/Sylogist app, and Official Little Axe Elementary page (security question required)

• Winter Weather: As the temperatures continue to drop, please ensure your child is dressed warmly for the season. We’ll be going outdoors whenever possible, so appropriate winter clothing is essential. Students stay inside when the temperature is 32 degrees or below.
