We want to thank all of our students, families and staff for following COVID protocols. We are happy to be able to stay open this week and have our students in seat learning. We know it takes a commitment to health and safety from everyone, and we appreciate your continued support of our schools.

Hydration Reminder
Please send your student to school with a refillable water bottle daily. Due to safety guidelines, our drinking fountains are closed; however, we have bottle refilling stations available for all students. The students play hard at recess and physical education, and it is important that they stay hydrated. Thank you for remembering to send a water bottle daily.
