Our school Read-A-Thon is going on now and is sure to be a fun and exciting event.

We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.

This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event, and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family. Use the link below to activate your student's Reader account:

Chronic Absenteeism: If your child currently has 10 or more absences, he/she is in danger of being "chronically absent". Please call our attendance office to discuss and check on how many absences your child has.

Help us reach our goal of achieving 96% attendance by the end of the school year.

🔔🕗Be on time to school each day. Bell rings at 8:00 a.m. and students must be inside our gates at this time. Gates may be open for just a couple more minutes. Please be aware that teachers are the ones on duty in our parking lots (front and back) and they MUST come in right when the bell rings to pick up their class. Once the back gate closes, students must be dropped off in the front of the school. Thank you for your cooperation.
