Teacher Gifts Info
Some families have inquired about the logistics of giving teacher gifts:
- Teacher gifts can be dropped off at the school any day (M-F) from 8am-2pm (not during winter break holiday).
-Please pull to the front of the school and call the school from your car: 980-343-6550
-A staff member will come to your car to receive any item needing to be dropped off
- We will notify the teacher/staff member that they have an item to pick up in the front office
-Due to the current circumstances, we are unable to receive homemade food items.
Thank you!
