Click here for more information, including directions on how to upload a student absence:

Managing Student Attendance.

If you would like to pick up your son/daughter early for an appointment, please pick up your child before 2:45PM. After 2:45PM, your child will be asked to wait with the other walkers, bus and car riders in his/her classroom, to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal for everyone.

Thank you!

To volunteer at a class party or chaperone a field trip, your clearances must be up-to-date.

If your clearances are current, upload them into the App Garden - Volunteer Tracker. If your clearances have expired, or you need to begin the clearance process, click on the Required Documents for the directions. For more information, consult the Human Resources Volunteer Required Paperwork webpage.

During physical activity, it is important that students wear proper footwear. Loose fitting shoes (i.e. crocs, moccasins, slippers, etc.) create safety challenges during recess and physical education class. For example, during kick ball at recess, crocs have flown off and we have had a few toe injuries during PE.

If your child has physical education class, or would like to play an active recess game, please ensure that they are wearing sneakers. Thank you!

Going into the winter season...

If there is inclement weather in our forecast, then there may be a 2-hour delay. Should that occur, please plan for the following schedule.

• Grades 1-6: 10:35AM - 3:15PM
• AM Kindergarten: 10:35AM - 12:20PM
• PM Kindergarten: 1:30PM-3:15PM

Families can access the online application for Free & Reduced Meals by clicking here. The application must be submitted each year AND for each child. If your child received free or reduced lunch last year, you must re-apply for the 23-24 school year.

Thank you to our families for the DELICIOUS cookies, candy, and cocoa. What a way to send us into winter break. We appreciate you taking such good care of us!

Gayman Family Bingo Nights - Thursday, January 11th and Friday, January 12th!
