Notes To The Fabulous Folks
- Spring is just around the corner! The children are very energetic at this time of year. Please remember that the Primary Courtyard is not a playground! If your child needs a place to get their wiggles out before the school day, please encourage them to visit the field. The Primary Courtyard is a place for quiet and calm morning conversations. Thank you for your support!
