A Message from the Principal

Be on the lookout for a colorful Book Buddy Lanyard coming home Monday!


You will find important information about a safe and easy way your family can help our school get the essential tools our students and teachers need to succeed. It will also let you know how your child can win fun prizes just for helping!


September 1, we invite parents to attend Parent Information Night (6pm: preK through 1st; 6:30: 2nd through 4th). This is a night for parents to come hear all about what their students will be learning this year and learn about Standards Based Report Cards as well as other relevant information. This is NOT a come and go event. We hope to see you Tuesday night!
