First Day of School
Wednesday, August 24
Doors open at 7:45am
School begins at 8am
Parents: If you are bringing your child, it is IMPORTANT to follow the traffic pattern in the parking lot for drop off. Parents are required to walk their child to the crosswalk, not drop them off from the parking spots. Our school continues to grow and we have over 600 students now! With this, I want to ensure safety in the parking lot!
