Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found is full of missing coats, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, and water bottles! Please remind your student to check for any missing belongings, and feel free to take a look yourself during upcoming parent-teacher conferences.

Pro Tip: Labeling your child's items with their name helps us return lost items directly to them. We love getting missing belongings back where they belong!
