Trailblazers of Today....Leaders of Tomorrow....
Welcome to the 2016-2017 School Year!
We had a great "Meet the Teacher" night. It was great to get so many hugs and see so many smiles. If you did not make it on that evening, our Parent Orientation will be held on September 6th for PK-2nd grade and September 7th for 3rd-5th. This is another event that offers you the opportunity to meet our wonderful teachers.
- The first few days traffic will be heavy and the student drop-off/pick-up will be a little slow to start, so please plan accordingly and bare with us as our staff is diligently working on making sure our Trailblazers are safe.
