1. New Visitor Plan: If you are coming into the building for any reason besides drop-off/pick-up, you will need to stop at the office to check-in and get a visitor sticker that is dated by the office.

2. After School Care: Just like every other business these days, we are still having staffing issues with ASC. It is a challenge to find quality people to care for our kiddos. Due to this, we will NOT have after school care on Friday, September 2nd, which is a 1pm early dismissal day. Thank you for your patience with us.

3. Pets: The Family Handbook states on page 15: "Pets are not allowed on school property during school hours and school sponsored activities, such as student arrival, dismissal and sports practice". If you need to bring your pet with you for drop-off/pickup, please leave them in the vehicle. Though they are adorable, they are a distraction to school safety.

Cafe Ordering: Keep up the great work with online ordering!

Just a reminder that you need to ADD milk as a separate item from lunch of the day.

The window for ordering for August 29- September 2nd is open until Sunday at 8pm. I have also opened up the month of September for ordering. There will be no orders listed on days that school is closed and when there is a Home and School prepaid pizza day.

Grab and Go items will be available for purchase . Below is a list of items and their price. You DO NOT need to pre-order these items. Students need to have a permission slip on file to purchase these items. If you completed one last year, it is still valid. If you need one, I have attached the form below that can be downloaded and returned to the office.

Buble $1.00
