important Reminders

Make sure you fill out a background check if you plan to eat lunch with your student or volunteer in any capacity. The background check application link is provided below.
Lost and Found: Our wonderful Boy Scouts will be managing our lost and found this year. In order to keep the items manageable, we will be taking unclaimed items to our donation bins at the end of each month. Make sure you check the rack outside the gym each week for missing gear.

BIrthdays!

We are happy to celebrate your child's birthday at school. We allow parents to send birthday trinkets for their child's class if they want, however, WE DO NOT ALLOW BIRTHDAY TREATS or FOODS. Cupcakes/cake/candy etc. compete with healthy meals and snacks. We will not serve them.
