We are excited to welcome in our Kindergarteners tonight at 5:30!

Just a couple notes for a successful night. Parents are encouraged to bring their student's school supplies tonight. This will make for an easier first day.

We will also ask that families not use our lower elem playground as it is still under construction! The space should be ready for us soon!
