A Note from Mrs. Cook
Welcome to September! We’ve had a wonderful start to the school year, and it has been such a joy to see our students settling into routines, building friendships, and diving into learning. As we move into this new month, we look forward to continued growth, exciting opportunities, and special events that bring our school community together.
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping make this a successful and positive school year for all our students.

Please visit the following link to review our September lunch menu HERE!
- Breakfast and lunch are free to all students and served starting at 7:15 AM.
- Students must arrive in the cafeteria no later than 7:30 to be able to eat breakfast.
- If you are planning to eat lunch with your student, please note the following:
- Outside lunch can be offered to your student (no sodas please).
- Due to limited space, we ask that you not bring any additional guests to lunch. This is just for you and your student.
- Lunch must be eaten in our designated dining room.
- When lunch is over, please allow your student to rejoin their class. And parents need to report to the main office for checkout. Please do not follow your student out to recess.
- We invite parents to eat lunch with your child in our small dining during their assigned lunch time. This opportunity will begin after Labor Day, as our students need time to learn our lunch room procedures. Thank you for understanding.
