Welcome to the 21-22 School Year! This will edition will contain new information and reminders for the upcoming school year! Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
Kindergarten Families: We are unable to hold kindergarten curiosity night this school year as we have done in the past. Your child will be able to view their room during supply drop off, Thursday July 29th from 4-7pm. When dropping off supplies, you will find a name tag with your child's name. Please have your kiddo wear this on the first day of school. This will help us ensure he or she gets to the gym and waits with their class in the morning at arrival.
Preschool Families: Just a reminder that preschool will begin on Monday, August 2nd. Preschool students do not attend school on Friday, July 30th.
