Happy Labor Day to all! In honor Labor Day, Monday, September 5th will be a school holiday. We will return to school on Tuesday, September 6th and that evening is Back to School night from 5 to 7pm!
We will be raffling off prizes to families who attend Back to School night, helping parents set up their Parent Portal accounts and giving you an opportunity to meet teachers. I hope to see you all there!
