Ms. Bell's Briefings

As we approach the end of the school year, please note that classrooms will not be hosting end-of-year celebrations or parties. Additionally, outside food deliveries or drop-offs will not be permitted. We kindly ask that families do not send or deliver treats, snacks, or goodie bags to school. The school will not accept floral arrangements, balloons, or any other deliveries for students.

These guidelines are in place to minimize disruptions to the instructional day and to ensure the health and safety of all students, including preventing potential allergic reactions to items brought in from outside of school. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
