Ms. McClure's class is in the top spot for a second week for our TK - 2nd grade classes with a 100% attendance rate!

Morning Drop Off

This is a reminder that our campus is a closed campus in the morning for students in grades 1-5. Please drop your child off at any of our 3 drop off locations. We have a supervised walking club that students participate in first thing in the morning. Our playgrounds are off-limits since we have limited supervision during this time. Thank you for your understanding and partnership!
