Good morning! Our first session of extended learning begins today (9/22). Extended Learning is every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9/22 till 10/22. Dismissal for this program begins at 5:10 PM. Car riders please jump into the car rider loop, walkers can pick up their students from the side door near the library and bus route information was shared last week. All students must have an adult to pick them up from the school or bus stop. Students cannot walk home alone after the program ends at 5:10 PM.

If your student has been accepted into this program, you received a letter from the school and you should know how your student is getting home. Unfortunately we had a large waitlist this session but look for future opportunities to get your student involved! Thank you in advance for your patience during dismissal as we navigate our first day together!
