Days of Cheer

10 Days of Cheer


No Dogs

Dogs on School Grounds/Walker Door

Sadly, we are going to need to tighten the policy that dogs are not allowed on school grounds and therefore not at the walker door at arrival and dismissal. We have had multiple situations that have created safety and health concerns for our students and families. Thank you for adhering to this policy.
