Welcome to Open House!

- As much as possible, please limit the number of people attending from a family.
- All persons entering the school building are required to wear a mask and keep the mask on while in the building. (Please click the link below if you would like to read the press release.)

We will see you Wednesday night!

We Need Your Help
From Mrs. Baldino and the Media Center
We are so excited that we are able to check out library books again! We have been learning about being responsible, respectful, and safe users of library materials and technology. Whether we are checking out books or getting on the internet, we are learning what the best choices are to be successful and independent learners.
Please help your students to be responsible library patrons.
Help them put their books in their backpacks when they are not reading them.
Keep food and drinks away from library books.
Keep young siblings and pets away from library books. They do not know how to treat books with care.
Return Library books each week on students’ scheduled media day.
Lost or damaged library books should be paid for promptly.
ENJOY!
