We Need Your Help

As a reminder, please make sure to label your child’s outerwear in case it gets put into lost and found.

Just wanted to remind 2nd grade families that our school policy is not to bring in sweet treats for birthdays!  

Tardies will be given out at 7:57.  Please make sure your child is at school to be on time for class!
