It is extremely important that all students are present and accounted for.

We kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring that your child is at school on time and attends the entire day. If your child is unable to attend due to illness or other valid reasons, please contact the school office as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support in making sure our school has the resources needed to provide the best education for your children.

This process does take several weeks to complete the background check process, so please plan accordingly to get your volunteers forms turned into the office or your classroom teacher. well before the date you would like to attend a field trip or volunteer in the classroom. The forms must be completed each school year. Please contact the office if you would like volunteer forms sent home in backpacks.
