Fire Awareness
Last week was Fire Prevention Week! I remember as a child coming home from school and having a conversation with my parents about how to handle procedures at my home just in case there is a fire. I hope that you will also find some time to discuss this at your home. Check on your fire detectors and make sure that everyone knows the route to take safely out of the home. This conversation can save lives!

We welcome you to have lunch with your child. Once you have completed your lunch visit, you are asked to exit the front of the building. Once teachers pick up their students that signals the end of the cafeteria visit. If you would like to visit the classroom, you will have to request a visit beforehand and retrieve a new sticker. We would love to have you!
