We wanted to let you know that bubble tea will no longer be offered on First Fridays. We may bring it back for special quarterly celebrations — and we’ll keep you posted when that happens!


As the weather gets colder, please remember to send your student with the proper outdoor gear — coat, hat, gloves, etc. If your child needs a warm coat, gloves, or a hat, just let their school counselor or the front office know. We have extra items available for families who could use them.
