Since the approval process can take several weeks, please file for your clearances ASAP so that they are in place when needed.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up
Thanks for your cooperation.
Please obey all local traffic laws. Avoid blocking intersections and crosswalks. Police monitor the area and may ticket drivers.
** You may find arriving around 3:40-3:45 eases congestion and wait time for you.
School Store Volunteer Sign-Up
Our PTO-run school store is set up outside of our cafeteria during lunch times. A variety of inexpensive items are available for purchase by students. Products include stationery supplies and fun items.
Our PTO can use some help with our School Store. Please follow the Sign-Up Genius link below to schedule a time to volunteer!

Be Allergy Aware!
Due to varied allergy and dietary needs, please contact your child's teacher before sending in food or other items intended to be distributed to students in a classroom (e.g. birthday celebrations, class parties). Students should not share food at any time during school - even with a close friend. A seemingly harmless food item may unexpectedly contain allergens, or interact with other medical conditions. Teachers may choose to avoid food-oriented experiences altogether. Please consider non-food treats as an alternative. Speak directly with your child's teacher. Do not send in any items until the teacher has responded and confirmed the appropriateness of your request. Thanks!
