Students from Mrs. Monty's current and last year's classes will be performing at Feeding Tampa Bay's fundraising event, Fork Fight on Thursday, May 23.
In June, the 2019 Back-to-School Page will be published on the school website. This page will contain helpful information and important materials families will need prior to the beginning of the school year — all in one place. You will find summer assignments, school supply lists, technology requirements, and more! This page will continue to be updated throughout the summer.
We are excited to continue the use of the secure online Magnus Health portal to collect and store your student’s health and medical information for the upcoming school year. Starting in June, you will receive a reminder email from Magnus Health notifying you that you must take action with your online Student Medical Record (SMR) for the 2019-2020 school year.
All forms and information must be completed / uploaded to the Magnus Health portal by July 31, 2019.
With the end of the year here, parents may want to download the items that have been saved to your child's portfolio in SeeSaw. Follow the simple instructions on this video to preserve these memories. Downloading will need to be done from a computer, not from the SeeSaw app. On a computer or laptop, go to SeeSaw.me. Click on “I’m a family member” and sign into your family account. Click here for instructions on how to download your child's 2018-2019 portfolio items.

The medication form completed by parents for the 2018-2019 school year will be void, a new one must be completed for 2019-2020. All medication and special health forms for next year can be found on Magnus Health. The completed forms will need to be uploaded to Magnus Health; no student forms will be turned in to school.
