We can't wait for everyone to meet their new teachers next Thursday, August 7th! This is a time when students and families get to see their child's classroom, meet their new teacher, drop off school supplies (already delivered if you pre-ordered), see friends, join PTA, buy new spirit wear, and more!

Times:

Kinder only - 4:15-5:15 pm

1st-5th grades - 5:30-6:30 pm

***Parking will be limited if you can have the entire family ride in one car or walk, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you are still needing to get school supplies, here is the 2025-2026 list.

If you order a wrap pack from PTA, those will be delivered to your child's classroom before Meet the Teacher.

We have several students with outstanding cafeteria accounts. Please check to make sure your child does not owe any money. RevTrack Link

Menus should be available soon for August.
