- Please notify the Office when parent chaperones will be arriving and where they should wait.
Thanks!

Night At The School
As part of the PTO Silent Auction, we are having a fun night at school on April 27 from 5:30 to 8:30. We would love to have celebrity teacher guests join us (and the kids would love it even more)!!! We'll have a picture/video scavenger hunt, eat dinner, play games, etc. etc. Let us know if you'd like to come. Staff volunteers can bring your kids!
