NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
A Message from Admin

Dear families,

Our communication and relationships with our families are very important to us. If you would like to request a meeting with one of our staff members, please send an email to schedule an appointment with them directly. Because we are prioritizing our students’ academic instruction, safety and well-being during the school day, our front office is unable to accommodate impromptu meetings on demand with our teachers, administration, and staff members.

Thank you,

Assistant Principal Bentley

All are welcome to join us in the auditorium tonight for a brief PTA meeting in between the 1st grade performances. If you missed last month's meeting, the meeting notes can be found here
