Embedded Files
Wow, the first week is already done! It was great to see familiar faces but also get to know new additions to our amazing community. We are well on our way to creating caring communities and will continue to focus on cultivating belonging throughout the month.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school safe during pick up and drop off
Our parking lot and bus lane is reserved for staff, buses, and vans only from 8:00–8:30 a.m. and 2:40–3:10 p.m. Those with special permits may also use the designated spot.
If you are driving, please park on a surrounding street and walk your child to school. We appreciate your understanding and ask that you please be respectful of our neighbors and do not block their driveways.
Thank you again for helping us create a safe environment for every student.
Secure Building
To ensure the safety of all students and staff, all visitors must check in at the office. For safety reasons, we cannot allow parents to walk their children to class. If needed, our staff will gladly escort your child to their classroom.
Parent Portal
If you have not yet signed up with the School Messenger, Parent Portal, please do so. This will be our main communication tool for forms, newsletters, report cards and general messaging. If you are having difficulty, please contact the school and we can verify the emails we have for your family.
