Lost & Found

Our lost and found collection is already getting full! Please encourage your child to take look and make sure that sweatshirts, coats, gloves, boots, snowpants, etc. ALL have your child's name in them! Thank you!

Parent/Teacher Conferences This Month

We are using SignUpGenius to schedule Parent/Teacher conferences. You should have received a link from your child's teacher to sign up for a conference time. These conferences are 15 minutes long. Please respect our times offered so our teachers can meet with every parent on these two days! If you feel you have concerns or questions that may take longer than 15 minutes, please contact your child's teacher directly.

Do you want to volunteer? Chaperone a field trip? Help with a class party?

If you answered yes to any of those, we need you to make sure you have your background check done and cleared before you can participate! You can complete it online (for a fee) or we have a form you can fill out as well. These are good for three years and then they must be completed again.


Every year, you must watch and sign off on our Bullying and Harassment Training. Links to everything are below!

School Fees are ready to pay online!

We are now using e-Funds for payment for school fees. Visit this website to learn more and find step-by-step directions to walk you through.

A Note from PTA

We need your help to make our upcoming Fall Fest a success! We are asking for your help in feeding our very hungry candy monsters. The class with the highest number of pieces of candy or allergy friendly non-candy items donated will win a pizza party!


We have also created an Amazon Wish List of items we need for the Fall Fest. Some of these items would be an investment for the PTA that will be available to use at future events!
