Please be on time to school. Dropoff begins at 7:15, then traffic is much lighter between 7:20 and 7:35. The tardy bell rings and instruction begins at 7:45.
Report cards are due to go home on Monday. However, both our registrar and backup registrar were out last week due to illness, so it may be Tuesday before report cards are sent home.

Colsson Layne played the part of Olaf when Sunnyside Theatre brought Frozen to our school this year. This past week he received a serious medical diagnosis and has a tough road ahead of him. He has been cast in Playhouse in the Park's Charlotte's Web as Templeton. Although he is currently hospitalized and wasn't able to perform this past weekend, they are hoping he feels well enough to perform during the special matinee performance in his honor on Saturday. Colsson is seven years old.
