Main Phone Line is back Main Phone Line is back

We are now able to accept phone calls through the main office. As always, if you wish to speak with your child's teacher you may write a note in your child’s journal or use Aladdin to notify us of early departures, late arrivals, etc.

The internal phone system is still down so be aware that if you come to the door to collect your child, please be aware that there may be a wait, as we need to collect children from their individual classrooms. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
