Please be aware that parking for the winter concert will be a challenge. If possible you may want to consider walking or carpooling. Please be patient and allow for extra time.
Please consider participating in the PTO's Pot O' Gold Fundraiser. The PTO supports our school in so many ways, providing things such as in-school programs, community events and field trips. They can not do this without the support of our families. You should have received a paper copy of the calendar in your child's folder. Please feel free to reach out to the teacher or office if you need additional copies. We have also attached the form if you would like to print them on your own. Thank you for any support you can give to this fundraiser.
Lunar New Year Celebration!
Thank to a very generous donation from our PTO we will be celebrating Lunar New Year with a Lion Dance performed by Wah Lum King Fu andTai Chi Academy on Tuesday, February 27th.
Please keep an eye out for information from your child’s teacher regarding any celebrations they may be having for Valentine’s Day. Please note: There is no food allowed to be shared or consumed within the classroom, but feel free to send your child with an extra fun snack that day if you so choose! If a Valentine that you purchased happens to have candy attached, we will send it home to be consumed at your discretion. Thank you!

Parking and Traffic Reminder...
We all know pickup and drop off can be tricky. Please be sure to follow traffic and parking rules. We have received some complaints from neighbors about illegal parking, especially at the end of the school day. I would also like to remind people that both exits are RIGHT turn only. We want to be respectful of our neighbors so we truly appreciate your support.
