Morning Drop-Off
We have had a large group of students waiting at the doors unsupervised. This is dangerous!
Thank you for keeping your students in the car with you until you see Safety Patrol and staff!

BIST Parent Sessions
The life goals are:
I can make good choices even if I am mad (or have an overwhelming feeling).
I can be okay even if others are not okay.
I can do something even if I don't want to (or if it's hard).
As part of the school's partnership with BIST, the BIST consultants are offering free parenting sessions via Zoom. See flyer for details. We hope families will take advantage of these opportunities!

A big thank you to all the families that attended our first restaurant night of the year. The PTA will be getting a check back for $380.78!
