Principal Message

With October fast approaching, we welcome the fall season on campus.


A special day that many students and staff love is Costume Day. We will hold Costume Day on Friday, October 30 this year. If your child chooses to dress up in a costume, please review the following Halloween Dress Code: No masks or helmets covering the face or head, no excessive face paint, no props of any kind (including anything that could be used or seen as a weapon), and no excessive blood or gore.
