Below are a few important things to put on your radar...
A huge THANK YOU to all our wonderful volunteers who made Halloween such a fantastic event! We could not have done it without you!
Students should begin arriving at school at 8:50 a.m. and can begin entering the building at 8:55 a.m. (unless there is poor weather). Teachers begin instruction at 9:05 a.m. It is important students arrive at school in time to enter the building and begin learning at 9:05 a.m. Thank you for your help ensuring students are ready to learn each day!
Wednesday is Picture Retake Day! Please be sure your child is aware if they will be retaking their photos. We will call students down to the photo retake area in the LMC throughout the day.
