LOST AND FOUND
Lost and Found can be located in room 1201 and in the box behind the admin table in the cafeteria. Did you know that our special education department picks up the items through out the school? They wash the clothes and the cups every Friday to have them ready to be claimed😊. Items not claimed will be donated.
REMINDER: MEDICATION
Please keep the nurse informed if your student has an epi pen or inhaler on their person. It is good to know this information in the event of an emergency. Also, please fill out appropriate forms to carry the medication at school.
