Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to welcome you and your children back to school!

Please pick up your child's packet which is out on the 4th grade table under the eves at school. In future, these items will go home with your child on Fridays unless you are staying in distance learning. If you are, you will still come to the school Fridays to pick up materials and packets.

-All lessons and in-person work will be scanned and placed in the pdf folder on the website, should your child be absent for any reason.

Parking lot info is attached. PLEASE check it out before your first trip to school.
