Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we start the new school year, I want to remind everyone of the importance of safety in our parking lot during drop-off times.
Please do not pass other vehicles in the parking lot while dropping off your children in the morning. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of all our students, staff, and families. It is crucial that everyone enters the school safely.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping our school community safe.

Students will be dismissed today, August 30, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause. All activities that are scheduled for after school are cancelled also.

Classroom temperatures will be assessed again at approximately 10:00 a.m. and if deemed necessary, students may be dismissed at 12:00 p.m. today.
