Thank you for keeping the focus on student learning:
If you see these two ladies out and about (Mrs. Row and Mrs. Jones), please let them know how much we appreciate their service each and every day (hot, cold, rainy). They are ensuring our students get to and from school safely as our crossing guards and we want them to know how much they are needed. Thank you for your service to our students and communiity!
Join us for some holiday fun!

We will give each classroom a sign-out sheet and dots. Teachers will need to verify parents and/or guardians will only be allowed to sign students out in the classroom on this party day. If you are not sure, send the student and parent to the office to sign-out. Once the teacher has verified and parents have signed the form in the classroom, the teacher will put a colored dot on the parent and one colored dot on the student. The office team will be checking for these dots and will collect sign-out sheets after each party time. If you are unsure, call the office! (Office will place items needed for sign-out in teachers' boxes on Wed., 12/18)
