Early Release Friday 12/19
First dismissal on Friday will be at 11am followed by regular dismissal at 11:15. There will be no after school or pm preschool.
Important Health Reminders
With cold and flu season upon us we would like to take the time to remind you of our health policy. Our school does have immunocompromised students. Catching a small cold for one of them could mean a major illness. We ask that you do not send your child to school if they have had any of the following in the last 24 hours: fever, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, unidentified rash, pink eye, any infectious disease your doctor has diagnosed or head lice. The students must be out of school for 24 hours following any of these symptoms. Thank you for your help with this matter.
School Office Closed
The school office will be closed over Christmas break. We will reopen on January 5th.
