Back To School Season.... It's in the air
Our School Year Packet Pick Up is one of the most anticipated days of the year, and is coming this week! Please be reminded that we need a parent from each family to stop by the school during office hours, and pick up a school year packet. School year packets contain: the emergency card, car tags, and the student's class assignment for the coming school year. Please come to the school office parking lot to pick up School Year Packets.
School Year Packets will be available beginning:
at 12pm on Wednesday, July 21st for NEW families only.
at 2pm on Wednesday, July 21st for all families.
Some things to keep in mind before coming to school to pick up packets:
- Packets may only be picked up by a legal parent/guardian.
- All account balances from the previous year must be satisfied before packets can be released.
- Every family MUST have set up a FACTs account. (If you need help setting up your FACTs account, see below or call the school office.)
If you cannot make it to school this Wednesday, July 21st, parents may come any time between the 21st and the first day of school. Please be mindful of the Summer School Office Hours:
Monday through Thursday: 9am until 3pm
Friday: 9am until 1pm
The office will be closed on Wednesday, August 4th for staff to attend training.

school supplies
For those parents that don't enjoy school supply shopping, our PTO is providing an opportunity for you to purchase online. School supply kits have been prepackaged for all grade levels making it easy for you to purchase supplies with one click. You also have the option to pick and choose the items you wish to buy. Again, this is NOT a requirement. This is a service for those families that are interested. If you are interested in ordering supplies using this service, we encourage you to make that purchase this week to guarantee you have the supplies on time. Visit schooltoolbox.com for more information.
