New Year News and Events
Parent Hot Lunches
Starting in January, we will be inviting parents to join their children for all hot lunches at school. You can attend one or all of them. Please note, this does not include Hot Dog Wednesdays, but only the hot lunches typically held on Fridays. Parents can either pre-order hot lunch through the school along with their child’s order or bring their own food. Siblings are also welcome to eat together. This will take place in the classrooms during the lunch period from 12:22 to 12:52.
If you haven’t already, please complete your volunteer confidentiality agreement and remember to sign in at the office when you arrive. You can fill out the Volunteer Agreement [here].
