Dismissal on Waudman Avenue
We have noticed that some students are crossing Waudman Avenue outside of the designated crosswalk areas and running to their vehicles. Ensuring the safety of your child is our top priority. Please encourage your child to use the crosswalks and avoid jaywalking, as it poses significant safety risks.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school environment safe.
Everyday Counts Attendance
Regular attendance is key to your child's academic success! Every school day provides important lessons and activities that build on their knowledge and skills. When your child misses school, they miss out on critical learning experiences that help them stay on track.
Let's work together to ensure your child gets the most out of every school day. Thank you for your ongoing support in their education!
