Our building is a scent free school - please make sure that anytime you're visiting that you refrain from wearing perfume/ cologne or strongly scented body products (for example, hair shampoo/conditioner, hair gel/spray, body wash, deodorant, and lotions).

Supervision will begin at 7:40 AM on the playground - please do not drop your child off prior to that time.

School Hours: 8 AM - 2:10 PM

Dogs on Campus

There is a lot of movement at arrival and dismissal, please do not have your dogs on the front walkway or playground area of the school.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

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!
