Lost & Found
The Lost and Found will be cleared out Monday, January 13.
Any unclaimed items will be donated.
Middle and Upper School: Gym locker rooms were cleared out. All items will be available to be claimed from the Lost and Found beginning today.
Upper School: In addition to locker room cleanout, the hallway lockers were cleaned out of any perishable food items, lunch boxes with perishable items, unemptied cups, and the areas above the lockers were cleaned off. What can be cleaned will be cleaned, and items may be claimed from Lost and Found beginning today.
Reminder: Please Label Your Child’s Clothing!
As the school year progresses, we’ve noticed an increase in lost clothing items—sweaters, jackets, and even shoes—left behind after gym, recess, and throughout the school day. To help ensure your child’s belongings make it home with them, we kindly ask that you label all items of clothing with their name.
