Kindergarten Registration is now open for next school year. Incoming Kindergarten students must be 5 by August 1, 2022 - no exceptions. For more information and to register, click HERE. Registration is still open for the current school year, as we have new students enrolling all year long, so please be sure to choose 2022-23 on your application so you won't have to do it again.

Please remember to have your student bring a water bottle (with their name on it) and a snack to school every day. If you would like to make a snack donation to your child's classroom, that would be great. Make sure it is a healthy snack. We have a limited supply of snacks in the office for those in need. We appreciate your help.

PLEASE NOTE: If you want to pick up your student during the day. You MUST put that in Pick Up Patrol under "Early Release". Even if you will be bringing them back to school from an appointment, you must enter the information into Pick Up Patrol.

If they are leaving for an appointment, make sure you are NOT putting that into "Plan Changes".

Reminder: There are cutoff times for making changes in PUP!! We also have a cutoff for picking your children up from the office for appointments at the end of the day. Your child needs to be picked up prior to 330pm, not after 330pm. Thank you for understanding!

All absences should be entered into our Pick Up Patrol. Open PUP. Click on your child's name, then click on the drop down menu under "Plan". Choose "Absent". Under "more info." add reason for absence. Then click "submit". If you have more than one child absent, you will do the same thing for the next one. If you have any questions, please call our office at 317-881-0561. Below there is a link to tutorial videos for Pick Up Patrol.
