A Letter from the Principal
Thank you for your continued support.
Dear Parents,
Every child has received a copy of our school handbook. This handbook has been developed to ensure consistency of expectations and procedures for our school.
We firmly believe that a strong home and school partnership, along with consistent communications, will help our children achieve in a safe and positive school environment.
Please note that our front office opens at 7:40 and closes at 3:50 p.m. Also, traffic signs have been posted for our parking lot regarding visitors parking. Please keep traffic moving in the outside lane in the student drop-off and pick-up area. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
We thank you for your continued support as we look toward a bright and promising year for our children.
Eric Watson, Ed. S.
