MONDAYS are the designated days when Kindergarten parents are invited to visit during lunch- 10:00am to 10:30am. Parents, guardians, and family members who will join their students for lunch on Monday, please make sure that you are on time so your child has enough time to eat their lunch. Also, the designated lunch table with family members will the first table on your left as you enter the cafeteria!

Transportation Changes
Any transportation changes need to be made prior than 2pm. Please make sure to contact the front office before this time to verify any necessary accommodations and changes you need to make for the day.
Student ID Badges
It is very important that all students wear their school ID badges every day. Badges help us keep our students safe by allowing staff to quickly identify students and ensure they are in the right place. They are also used for lunch, library checkout, bus transportation and other daily routines. Please help your child remember to wear their badge each morning. If a badge is lost, replacement ID badges cost $5
