We will be using only the 99 Pledges platform for electronic donations this year (versus SchoolPay, which was used previously). Students will still get an information packet sent home with collection envelope for cash and checks donations. Our goal this year is $22,000!
Cafeteria Guests - New Procedure - Reservations Required
Thank you for being patient with us as we solidify our procedures in the lunchroom. Starting on Monday, October 3rd parents are allowed to have lunch with their children. If you are going to eat, please make sure you call Patty at 446-5006 before 7:30am of the day you are coming for lunch as we need to plan accordingly. It doesn’t matter if you are eating a school lunch but since we have to set up some additional tables the lunchroom staff needs to know in advance. If it works better for you to call a few days in advance that would be no problem at all. Please remember to bring your ID as you will need to scan in once you arrive to the office.
If you are coming to 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade lunches we may have a different seating arrangement due to the size of 2nd grade. This is why it is so important you call ahead of time.
Finally, we ask that you come no more than once every few months as seating is limited.

Lost and Found
Items of great value (electronics, etc.) will be held in the office. We currently have a watch and a Kid's camera. If you can identify the item, we'd love to return them to their rightful owner. Take a look at these pictures to see if any missing items are yours!
