Thank you to all of our families that came out for the Halloween parade. The participating students had a blast showing off their attire. The staff certainly had a great time, too!

We had a professional day on Friday where we reviewed many safety protocols and what to do if we had an active assailant on campus. The content was intense, but necessary to ensure we know how to best create and maintain a safe environment for our students.

Starting on Wednesday we will have a toy collection box in the office for upcoming community holiday events. Please consider donating, if you find yourself in the position to do so.

PTA will be selling popcorn and Dipping Dots after school on Friday. Please make arrangements with your students for what to do at pick up. We cannot have the parking lot flow halted and it is challenging to keep the back gate open after 2:50 PM. We appreciate your understanding.

Keep on reading for additional information.
