Our school year is off to a great start! We had a wonderful turnout for Open House despite the rain. It was great to see so many families. We have a lot of fun in store for this year and we are looking forward another incredible school year. Our first big family event is our Trunk Or Treat on October 19. We hope to see everyone there! The candy donations for this event have been tremendous! We thank all of our families for your generosity and commitment to our amazing school!

November 25: School Advisory Council Meeting 5PM in the Media Center

Due to recent legislation affecting school safety protocols, specifically HB 1473, we have had to take a step back from our very popular Family Lunch Days. This new legislation requires all gates to be locked during the school day unless they can be monitored. This would mean that our side gates could not be open to accommodate cars and all parking would need to be on the right-of-way in front of the school which is prohibited. We are currently trying to find a way to be in compliance with the legislation, accommodate our families and most of all, keep your children safe. We will be discussing this at our November School Advisory Council Meeting which will be on Monday, November 25th, at 5 pm in the Media Center. All parents are invited to attend and provide input.
