• If your child is not toilet trained, please provide pull-ups labeled in a bag with the student's name.

Please contact your child's teacher with any questions about optional items that you may wish to purchase and/or donate for classroom use.

Free and Reduced lunch forms can be found on the district website.  If your other children are receiving free/reduced lunch in our district, you still need to complete one for your new child attending. 

If your child is not toilet trained, please send your child to school with pull-ups that can refasten. These will be used during the school day for your child. Please put your child's name on the package. The pull-ups will be stored in the classroom and the teacher will notify you when more are needed to be sent into school. 

Parents should do their best to make sure that their child's pull-up in dry and clean in the morning before sending them to school.

Students will have an opportunity to nap or rest each day. If desired, students may bring a small soft toy to cuddle during nap/rest time that will be stored with their bedding in their labeled container.
