We love having parents and visitors in our school community! To help keep our students safe and make sure our school day runs smoothly, all visitors must check in at the main office upon arrival.

For the safety of the children, to go past the office, visitors will need to have the Volunteer Form filled out. This can be done here through Permission Click. and is good for the entire school year. Multiple students can be added to one form. This is also required to volunteer in the classroom and on field trips.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school a safe, welcoming place for everyone!

Please ensure that the bus lane is kept clear at all times. Parking in front of the school is dedicated for busses only. Thank you for your cooperation.
