A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
We made it through our first full week of school and our students handled it like rockstars! They are continuing to follow expectations and are great role models for their peers. I am impressed with everyone’s efforts and appreciate our students, families, and staff.
Please continue to follow the morning drop off procedures. If you are dropping off your student, please pull forward as far as you can and do not release them from your vehicle until 7:32 am. When picking students up in the afternoon, please drive into the pick-up loop, stay in your vehicle and your student will meet you at their designated location around the loop.
We are so excited about our glow dance fundraiser this year! Please see the additional information located on the newsletter and with your student.
Happy Friday!
Mrs. LaVictor
