New ADA accessible playground

The playground is coming along nicely! They have just about finished putting in all the equipment pieces, but we are waiting on the rubber surface to be poured.

Absence Communication

This year we will be using parent square to contact families if your child is absent and we haven't heard from you.

Messages will be going out around 10 every morning.

It is a new process for us, so we appreciate your patience in advance!
