Families, please take a moment to check our Lost & Found! It is located in front of the office near the Meade Street gate, and you are welcome to stop by anytime to look for missing items.

As a reminder, please write your child’s first and last name on their belongings. This helps us reunite lost items with their owners quickly.


Thank you for helping us keep our Lost & Found manageable and get items back to your child.

Primetime Lost and Found is also growing; they will add these missing items at the end of school on Friday, so our Lost and Found will double in size. Please take a look, and if you recognize anything, stop by and pick it up.
