Lunch Visitors
We so excited to start welcoming lunch visitors on Tuesday, October 3rd. We will have 10 lunch visitors per day, per grade level (K-5) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week. In order to make sure we are prepared for each day's lunch visitors, a Sign-up Genius will be sent out via School Messenger and Remind on Monday, October 2nd at 10:00 a.m. for October. Please make sure you only sign up for one slot per child, per month, as we want to make sure every parent has an opportunity. We will not be able to accommodate visitors who haven't signed up. Please note that PK lunch visitors will not begin until January 2024, to give our youngest Owls time to adjust to school routines and procedures. Thank you for your support.

Watch D.O.G.S.
Information about our annual Watch D.O.G.S. sign-up is here! Please watch the video below for information about Watch D.O.G.S. sign up. The primary goal of the Watch D.O.G.S. program is to provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrated by their presence that education is important, in an environment where most volunteers are moms. We are looking forward to seeing our Watch D.O.G.S. back on campus!
