Principal information

Happy Friday!


Please join us next week for our PTA potluck and sign up to volunteer at the holiday tree sale! The info is below to sign up!


So much learning is going on as we gear up for conference in the next two weeks. Please make sure to connect with your student(s) teachers to get signed up for a conference! We look forward to seeing you!


If your family is in need of food right now we have some available boxes of food you can have! They are fairly heavy (about 20 pounds) so little ones can't really bring them home with them, but let us know if we can help you get one if you can't get to the school to pick one up.


Thanks so much,

Have a great week!

Warmly,

Liz McFarland (she/her)
