Hello, families! This is a quick, friendly reminder regarding our morning drop-off procedures.

If you are dropping your child off from your vehicle, please use our official designated car rider line. If you prefer to park in the lot, you must park and walk your child all the way to the front entrance. For safety reasons, students are not permitted to walk through the parking lot unattended.

Thank you so much for your cooperation in keeping all of our students safe! Have a wonderful day.

Huge shoutout to our amazing fifth and sixth-graders, their parents, and teachers for making attendance a priority! Last week, we challenged each grade to hit 98% attendance—and you all crushed it! Fifth grade came in strong with 99%, and sixth grade hit the goal with 98%. Because of your dedication, both grades earned PBIS points to spend at our PBIS store. Keep up the great work, everyone!
