Curriculum Night is TONIGHT!
We are excited to invite you to Curriculum Night TONIGHT. This event is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about the academic program and expectations for the school year. There will be two identical sessions for families who have multiple children.
Please note that this is a parent-only event
There will be two identical sessions to accommodate parents with multiple students:
- First Session: 6:00 PM - 6:40 PM
- Second Session: 6:50 PM - 7:30 PM
You only need to attend one session, as the same information will be presented at both.
We look forward to seeing you there!
PTO Hot Lunch Program
Hot Lunch begins next week! Get your orders in by Sunday for next week.
You can log into the system here:

Most Importantly, before ordering, you MUST update your student's teacher! Go to Student, Action, edit and update their teacher. If their teacher is not updated, there will be confusion during lunch distribution.
If this is your first year ordering, go to Student, and then add a student.
PTO Holiday Party Sign-Up
Holiday Party sign up time is here! Please make sure you only sign up for one party per student. If there are still openings later on, we will allow you to sign up for an additional party.
