Picture Day - September 16th
extra clothes/Masks in backpacks
All students in grades K-5 should have a back up mask (or two) in their backpack. Many students find that a fresh mask after recess or PE makes for a more comfortable afternoon.
Doing some fall cleaning? Our nurse's office will accept your clothing donations. We are in need of extra clothes for our younger students.
Names are Important!

Volunteer Opportunities
https://bit.ly/PTAVolunteerOpportunities
There are many times throughout the year that the PTA needs volunteers to help directly with your student's enrichment. Some activities are directly in their classroom, while others support their classroom, teacher or grade level. We look forward to offering more 'usual' volunteering and activities this 2021-2022 school year while also respecting current state and local restrictions due to the pandemic. Please take a minute to review these activities and let us know how you can help! New this year, we will be implementing a Room Parent for each class. State your interest in the link provided.
