Introducing Zach, Rocco and Oakley
During the 2022-2023 school year, your child may have the opportunity to meet Rocco and Oakley, two certified therapy dogs with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, along with their volunteer/handler. Our animal volunteers may occasionally visit or greet students in their classroom and learn about their job as a certified therapy dog under the instructional direction of school district personnel.
This program has been done in the past with no serious injuries or allergic reactions. However, if you have any concerns for allergies to pet dander or if your child has any aversions or fears to dogs, please contact the school office, and we will accommodate accordingly.
