This is the plan we will start the year with. Thank you for your support, encouragement and understanding as we continue to navigate the beginning of the school year.

Back to school night will be held Monday August 16th. There will be four sessions, one each at 6:00, 6:15, 6:30 and 6:45. You need only to attend one session per child. We will be limiting attendance to one parent per child. Masks will be required to enter the building. We also ask that parents not linger in the building after they are finished for the evening. We are trying to do our best to follow the guidance given to us and also to give parents the opportunity to meet their child’s teacher. Thank you for your continued support as we begin the school year.
