We are asking for your help regarding a situation involving the school restrooms. Recently, we have experienced repeated plumbing issues due to items being flushed down the toilet, specifically boys underwear.
We understand that accidents happen but we need this behavior to stop.
The repeated flushing of underwear is causing significant disruption and expense, as it is repeatedly clogging the plumbing system. We need to ensure that our restrooms remain functional for all students.
Please discuss with your child, if they see or hear anything to please report to the office.

Picking up your student during school hours 🏫
Please note that when students have to leave during the day, they will remain with their class until their pick-up person has arrived and either called the office or buzzed the door. Due to confidentiality and students not getting picked up at their specified time, we can not have children waiting in the office. Please understand that if you need them at a specific time for an appointment, you may need to come a few minutes earlier so we have time to get them from their classroom.
