Who is my child's teacher?
Children in 1st-5th grade should expect a letter from their new teacher to arrive via mail after the 29th of August. The staff has put a lot of thought into class lists that will encourage a successful learning environment for all students. We are looking forward to a great school year.
(Kindergarten class lists will be completed by the afternoon of Sept 9th. A letter from their teacher will be sent out via email that evening)

Student Medication
Parents are encouraged to administer medication to their children before and/or after school hours. When a child must take any medication during school hours and a parent cannot be at school to administer the medication, the parent must obtain a "Daily Medication Administration Record" form from the school. This signed written request is submitted along with the following:
- The original container with the label containing the name of the medication, dosage, time interval, and method of administration. Prescription medication containers must include the physician’s name and written instructions or prescription label.
Please do not send medication with your student. All medications (even nonprescription cough drops) must be kept in the school office unless special arrangements have been made.
If your child needs medication at school, please bring it in to the office at Back to School night, Sept 6th 5:00 PM - 6:30PM or during the first week of school.
