Ticonderoga Field Trip Oct. 16th
We are very excited about our upcoming field trip to Ticonderoga Farms on Friday, October 16th. The cost of the field trip will be $15 per student. Field trip permission forms will be forth coming. Each class will need several chaperones to help. Please write your child's teacher a note if you would like to volunteer as chaperone. Chaperone names are due to teachers by Wednesday, October 7th. A lottery will be conducted on October 9th if there are more names than needed.
Uniform Reminders:
Please remember that socks need to be plain in color and match a color in the uniform.
We will start enforcing the uniform code after back to school night.
Please make sure that you label your child's sweater or coat. This makes it quick and easy to locate the item's owner. Thank you!
