☀️ Have an amazing summer, Starkey Bears!

📚 Summer Bridge begins Monday at 8:00 AM.

🐻 Everyone else, we’ll see you at Meet the Teacher on Friday, August 7th from 1:00–2:30 PM.

✈️The first day of school is Tuesday, August 11th.

🐻 We started a beary exciting new tradition, The Starkey Stroll, a celebration of where our students began and how far they’ve come.

🎓 Fifth graders and high schoolers who once walked these halls returned for a one final lap around the school, cheered on by every student and staff member.

🥳 We can’t wait to see all the incredible things our Starkey Bears will accomplish next.

🥎 The oldest and best tradition we have at Starkey is the Staff vs the 5th grade softball game!

🏆 The Staff holds a commanding lead in the series with 60 Wins, 2 losses, 2 ties and 1 rainout.

🐻 This year was a beary great game with the win again going to the staff with a score of 10 to 2.

Hello Starkey 5th Grade Families,

We are just as excited as you are to celebrate our 5th graders moving on to middle school! In order to have a fun and SAFE ceremony, we will be following the safety and security guidelines for checking ALL guests in through the front office.

Visitors may come to the front office as early as 7:45am with their state issued photo id. We will provide you with a visitor sticker. The cafeteria will open at 8:30 and the ceremony will begin promptly at 9am. Everyone MUST have a visitor sticker to enter. Please plan accordingly to allow yourself plenty of time to get checked in so that you don’t miss anything.

In consideration of our capacity restrictions, please limit how many people are coming for each student. We have 91 students to celebrate and our total capacity is 342.

As the 5th grade teachers have shared, the students will be able to be signed out at the bus circle / bike rack gate after the Starkey Stroll.

Sincerely,

Ms. Kranzel
