Please help your child keep their student badge on their backpacks. Badges are used during breakfast for meals. They also help with campus safety.

Beginning October 24th, students who do not have their badge with them at breakfast will need to get a badge from our grade level box of Borrowed Badge Cards. This will delay students as they go through the breakfast line. Please help you child have their badge each day.

Frequently Asked Question:

What does my child do if they do not have a band for a certain party or any parties?

All students will get to run and enjoy the Adventure Dash course. Students are called to the side for the Band Parties and the other students continue running and exploring the Adventure Dash Course.

My child lost their band. What do I do?

Please encourage your child to keep up with their bands. For Prek, Kinder, and 1st Grades, bands will stay in the classroom. Your child can let the Adventure Dash coach know that they lost a band and they will be able to replace it.
