Please be sure to reference our district health screener and use daily before sending your child(ren) to school.

Please continue to turn in documents from the Popsicle Social and first days of school. This includes Family Contact Form, Permission Slip, Technology, Student/Parent Compact, Emergency Form and Medication form (if applicable). These can be dropped off in the office to Mrs. Drummer or Mrs. Federer

On Tuesday, August 24th, Elementary will have their virtual Open House. 2/3 will start at 6:00 pm and 4/5 will start at 6:30 pm. On Wednesday, August 25th, the Middle School will have their Open House. The Middle School team will present at 6:00 pm and the United Arts will present at 6:30 pm. All links will be communicated next week.

1. Please stay in your car. If you have an appointment with a staff member or want to walk your student to the door, we ask that you park your car and do so.

2. Do not honk at your student to find your car.

3. Do not cut in line or weave through the line. In the Elementary line there are two lanes, in the Middle School line there is only one lane. Stay in your lane.

4. If you intend to turn left out of either lane please follow this guidance: If you want to go left out of the MS lot, once your student has been picked up and you're ready to turn, position your car to the left so that someone who needs to turn right can move up next to you. If you're going left in the ES line, stay in the left lane at all times.

Finally, we know these lines are hectic but we've been doing this for years and it will get better as long as everyone abides by the rules and works together.

Families please check your student before they leave for school. We are already seeing a lot of students out of dress code.

The dates for Chess Club are Thursday, September 26th- Thursday, October 7th.
