A message from Ms. Alexander, Principal
Please see information below related to cycle days the first week and an update regarding lunches the first week of school. There are some construction delays resulting in the kitchen not being ready. Regular should be back on the menu after the Labor Day break.
Also, I ask that you take a moment to review arrival and dismissal procedures. If you have questions do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to help.
Finally, thank you for your continued support!
