Kindergarten students enjoyed building in the STEAM Lab.


Upcoming School Closings

Monday, January 20th is a holiday.

January 27th and 28th are teacher workdays and staff development days.

Monday, February 17th is a holiday.

Tuesday, March 3rd is a school planning day and school will be closed.


Arrival Reminders

Each day, students are encouraged to be in their classrooms by 8:40 a.m. to unpack and begin their morning routines. Instruction begins at 8:50 a.m. Students who arrive at school at 8:50 a.m. or later are marked tardy.

During the cold winter months, more parents choose to drive their children to school and the Kiss and Ride line gets longer. Please plan for this and try to arrive earlier so your child(ren) has enough time to walk to class before 8:50 AM. Students may be dropped off as early as 8:20 AM and the line is short at that time.
