Great news! Every student will receive a FREE yearbook this year! Kemmetmueller Photography will be providing one book for every student pic. The books were designed by parent volunteers and will be distributed to students during the last week of school.

As the weather gets warmer, students may be tempted to wear sandals or other open-toed shoes. Please keep in mind that students have recess every day and Physical Education every other day, so safe and comfortable footwear is important for running, climbing, and active play. Tennis shoes or closed-toe shoes are the best choice for school.

Thank you for helping keep students safe and ready to learn and play!
