Principal Updates
We would like to thank everyone for making the first few days of school a success! Arrival and dismissal have become smoother each day. We do ask that parents please not park at The Bend Apartments, Spicewood Drive, or the construction gravel lot (off of Lombardy) for student drop off/pick up. Please let the office know if you need a car rider tag.
