Reminders!

• Parents- Please label your students items (hats, scarves, jackets, etc) with your child's first and last name. Our lost and found gets pretty full around this season when weather is cold in the morning but hot during recess and students shed those jackets and hats. All items that are labeled are returned to students.

• All volunteers need to complete a background check. We would recommend still filling out the volunteer background check form now so that you know you are clear and ready to go when the time comes. 

Transportation Changes

If you need to change your child's transportation home from school on any day, you will need to email your child's teacher and fill out this google form.  This will need to be completed by 2 pm the day of.
