If you have any questions, call the office and we would be happy to help! We can send home a packet in your child's back pack for you to complete.
Applications need to be completed and submitted each year, so if you have not completed one for the 2019-2020 school year, let us know, and we can send one home or stop on by in the office and grab one!
FIELD TRIP PERMISSION SLIPS & PAYMENT
This year, you will not be seeing a permission come home to be signed for your child as this was part of your online registration process. You signed a permission slip online to blanket all field trips for the school year.
For payment, we have grouped all payments into one lump sum to cover the cost of all trips this year (please note, these are subject to change at any time and additional charges may apply). These payments would have been made during the registration process as well. Please check your Family Access to see if payment is still due.
