Countdown to Comeback!!!!
It was great seeing those of you who were able to drop off your supplies on this afternoon. If you weren't able to get to the school today, that's ok, your student can bring their supplies with them on the first day of school.
There will be a special edition of the BUZZ next week to review procedures for the first day of school.
