Important Bus Information:

If you have a kindergarten student riding the bus, you MUST be at the bus stop when they are dropped off. Bus drivers will not drop kindergarten students at their stop if a family member is not there to pick them up (standing at the house, patio, etc., is not allowed); they will be returned to the school. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Signup genius is now ready for you to reserve your opportunity to help the PTA and your school.

Time slots are available for both the Lil Shoppers (Thursday 12/7 and Friday 12/8), and the Family craft night on 12/8.

Please share with those that may be interested in volunteering.
