Road Construction
As you may be aware, there is extensive road construction occurring in close proximity to the school. If you plan on driving to pick up or drop off your child/children, we kindly request that you allocate additional time to accommodate potential delays. Additionally, for students who rely on the school bus, we suggest that you allow for some flexibility in the pick-up and drop-off times as the drivers are doing their best to navigate all of the routes.
Please note that we are not associated with the construction project and therefore, we are unable to provide any assistance regarding traffic issues caused by the construction. The Lancaster Police Department is collaborating with the construction company to minimize traffic disruptions whenever feasible. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period.
Questions about the bus?
Kindergarten Registration
If you haven't completed your child's kindergarten application for the academic year 2023-2024, we encourage you to contact Mrs. Frommer as soon as possible to begin the registration process. Please note that after submitting the application, the next step is to complete the online registration, unless your child is currently enrolled in a district preschool program.
All children who will be 5 years old by August 30, 2023, are eligible to participate in this comprehensive program, which runs full-day and five days a week, without any tuition fees.
Feel free to reach out to Mrs. Frommer if you have any inquiries or concerns.
