Helping Your First Grader At Home:

Transportation Changes

If you have a transportation change please fill out this form by 2pm. 

A note from the nurse...

Please make sure that your student has a change of clothes in their backpack for accidents or a slip in the mud. 

Car Riders

Please make sure that you always have a car sign in your window. If you have lost it, please contact your child's teacher and they will send you a new one. After you pick up your child, you MUST turn left out of the school parking lot. Also, please make sure you are in the line no later than 3:00 pm. After the last car is loaded, we will send any remaining students down to the office. Just pull up to the front office at that time.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • If you would like to volunteer to work in your child's class or go field trips, you will need to fill out a volunteer form online.  All previous forms have expired, so everyone will need to fill out a new form here.
