Dear Students & Parents,
Thank you for making our Open House a memorable one. In speaking with our teachers, they all mentioned how please they were with the turnout. Our students were excited to have their work on display and share their accomplishments with their families and peers.
We look forward to having all of our families join us for our BINGO night Friday, May 3rd. This is one of our most popular events and always a lot of fun. Thank you to our PTA for organizing this great event.
As we move closer to the end of the year, please remember that cell phones and smart watches are not to be used for communication during school hours. We recommend students leave these devices at home. We've been experiencing a recent uptick in parents coming into the front office to pick up their students as a result of communication that has taken place through a cell phone or a smart watch. Please know that if a student needs to contact a parent, they can and will have access to phone, and we will allow them to call. Thank you for your support with this.
Go Cubs!
Dennis Carter
Principal

Parking Lot Reminders:
- Blue accessible parking spaces are only for those with DP placards or license plates
