Hero Squad Fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
This is a great way for our students and families to support others going through a health crisis in their home. The LLS helps provide support for families by providing housing near their child's treatment center/hospital, gas cards, food, and emotional support and services.
We can all be a member of the Hero Squad!!

Spring Picture Day!!
All pictures must be ordered online. If you have an e-mail in our system, you will receive an e-mail reminder and a link to purchase pictures. I will also post reminders and ordering information in Dojo.
Feb 22 - All in-person students will have their picture taken on this day. Students do not need to wear a uniform, but do need to wear school-appropriate shoes so that they are safe at recess.
Feb 23 - All online students (Please bring your child to the large parking lot entrance on Palm street according to the schedule.) Students do not need to wear a uniform. Students must wear a mask when entering campus, but will remove it for pictures. Please follow the schedule as much as possible, as it allows for social distancing and does not interfere with your child's online learning time with their teacher.
