We will put letters to families in the mail on August 16.  These will contain homeroom information, forms and calendar information.  We encourage all families to sign up for SIS ParentVue, as teacher assignments, test data and other information can be viewed there.  You may also update phone numbers and contacts in SIS ParentVUE.  More information and links are below.

Get a head start on the 2026-27 school year by pre-purchasing your child’s school supplies by July 31, 2026. Your purchase supports the PTA and ensures your child has all required supplies—including preferred brands, sizes, colors, and specialty items—delivered directly to the school.
