Blast Off to the Sky continues!

We will solve conflict issues with student designed resolutions. Invite your child to share how they might solve a problem with a friend.

Dismissal Reminder:
If you find your child must go home a different way than planned, please notify the office by a phone call by at least 2:00 p.m. Teachers and our front office staff do not always have access to email or are busy teaching or helping others. A phone call is required. Sometimes we have only one person in the front office, so we want to provide ample time to be able to meet your needs.
