Walk-A-Thon - September 27th

Get ready for our biggest event of the year—the Asa Packer Walk-A-Thon! It’s almost time for our students to get active, have fun, and raise funds to support our school. Donations from this event directly help fund field trip transportation, assemblies, school events, and more. Together, we can reach our goal of $10,000 and make a big difference for our kids!

We’re also looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make this day a huge success! Whether it's cheering on our walkers, helping with stations, or lending a hand behind the scenes, your support will make the event even more fun and memorable for our students! Sign up to volunteer through our SignUpGenius link and join in the fun.

Please remember:

When dropping off or picking up students by automobile: You may park your car and walk your child across the bus lane; or you may drive up to the student drop-off area, have your child exit the car and walk on the sidewalk next to the building. If you are getting out of your car to assist your child, please park your car in the lot and do not park in the drop-off lane. Do not stop and park in the drop-off lane.

Students and parents must use the crosswalks at all times.
Cars are not allowed in the bus lane.

No pets are allowed on school property.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and cooperation.

Handicap Parking Spaces

Please don't block entry into the handicap parking spaces during drop off. We have families that need access to the spaces and at times they are unable to pull in due to the spaces being blocked. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Grade 2 and Grade 3 students will enter/dismiss through the Main Entrance.
