If it's not raining, but our Arrival & Dismissal Procedures are changed, it is likely that we are on alert for possible lightening in the area.

3. Birthdays: We prioritize healthy choices at school and ask that you not bring cupcakes to school for your child’s birthday. See the information below for alternative treats you can send to school.

4. Communication:

• The weekly Sunday phone call at 5 pm is 60-90 seconds of the most important information for the week.
