Parents: It was Good Community Day (Amazon Day) at school and the students were allowed to pick items to take home. This has been a great hit with the kids and an exciting day to look forward to the past couple of years. Hope they enjoy!!

Parents: Kindergarten -2nd grade students who do not have older siblings will be dismissed at 2:40 at the main entrance. For those being picked up early please gather your child and exit the parking lot to allow for others to park. If you have a child in both lower and upper grades dismissal will be at 2:50 and pick up will be at main entrance. This is hopefully the process going forward. Thank you for your cooperation.
