Drop Off Reminder:

Now that we are a few weeks into the school year, we wanted to reiterate that our morning drop off process does not begin until 8:00 am. Our morning duty staff are not outside to supervise drop off until 8:00 am. In the interest of student safety, please do not leave your child(ren) unsupervised before morning duty begins.

We recently revised our late pick up policy because of an increase in students being picked up after our dismissal ends at 3:35. We also have a significant number of unsupervised children in the morning and would like to avoid an additional revision of our drop off/pick up policy. We appreciate your support in this matter as we work to keep all of our students safe.

Coffee & Tea With the Principals:

We look forward to connecting with those of you that plan to come to our coffee/tea with the principals on September 20th from 8:15-9:00am. Our principal coffee date will be an informal gathering designed to foster a sense of community among our school families. It's a great chance for families to meet and interact with us in a relaxed setting. Please sign up here so that we know how many parents to plan for.
