All students must submit a completed acknowledgement form for the 26-27 school year.

We would like to share a friendly reminder that toys are not permitted at school. This includes store-bought toys, homemade toys, fidgets, squishies, and homemade sensory items.

We understand that some students may benefit from sensory tools, such as fidgets or squishies.

If a student requires a sensory tool as part of a school-based support, our Special Programs and Counseling Department will provide an appropriate item for the student to use during the school day.

To help us maintain a focused, safe, and productive learning environment, students should not bring their own toys, fidgets, or squishies from home, even if they are intended for sensory purposes.

Please take a moment to remind your child to leave toys and other non-school-related items at home. Students who bring prohibited toys or sensory items to school may be subject to disciplinary consequences in accordance with our school policies.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to keep our classrooms focused, safe, and ready for learning.

Student agendas have been distributedto all students for the 2026-2027 school year.

If your child needs a replacement agenda, one may be purchased in the upstairs office for $10.00.

Get your 8 hours done early! Future you will thank you!

We recommend K-5 families arriving on campus between 7:00–7:15am to allow enough time

to get through carline and for your child to get to class on time and avoid being marked tardy.

When preparing to pickup students during MYP dismissal, all vehicles must display their child's current dismissal placard in the front window.

Not displaying the placard may result in a delay in picking up students during dismissal.

Students enrolled in Grades K-5 who have a sibling enrolled in Grades 6-8/MYP Years 1-3 may remain on campus in a supervised environment until their sibling is dismissed at 3:15 PM.

Likewise, students in Grades 6-8/MYP Years 1-3 who have a sibling in Grades K-5 may arrive on campus as early as 7:00 AM with their younger sibling.

This service is provided at no cost to families and is designed to support households with students attending different grade levels.
