Some of you may have seen the emergency vehicles here at school. We had to have a student transported who was experiencing a medical issue. Thank you and have a good day.
Due to the weather, we are dismissing 1 hour early. Parents with student in grades K-3 must meet your student at the bus stop. Thank you.

More days at school = more tickets = more carnival fun!
Thank you for reminding your child that showing up every day—and on time—really matters!
