Volunteers: If you are interested in helping run this event, please email Mrs. Wray directly at Jill.Wray@santeesd.net
Traffic
Due to conferences and minimum day schedule next week, all K-8 students will be dismissed at 1:05 each day. This will cause longer traffic lines. Arrive early and be patient.
Facial Piercings Reminder
Students with other facial piercings who are unable to use flesh-toned piercings or plugs will be asked to cover with bandaids during school.
