August 30, 2024
From the desk of Principal Zeigler
I hope you are all enjoying the Labor Day weekend. I've been in education for over 20 years and I still get that wonderful nervous "First Day Back To School" feeling every September.
We can't wait to see our students on Tuesday, September 3rd at 8:15 am. School hours are 8:15-3:00. Thank you for bringing your child directly to the pick up line when they arrive to school.
Looking forward to a wonderful 24-25 school year!
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
In Partnership,
Ms. Zeigler

Drop off procedures are as follows:
Enter Myrtle Avenue, and proceed through the coned area.
Drive ALL THE WAY to the end, or to the last car, before stopping
Have your child quickly exit the car and walk to the Myrtle Avenue entrance.
School aides will be present to monitor your child and the traffic
Once your child completely exits the car, pull away
If possible, please continue to drive up Larned Road to Mountain Avenue to avoid causing a back-up at the Tulip St/ Myrtle Ave. intersection.
