Our first Early Dismissal takes place this Friday @ noon (8/31).  Families must pre-register their student for Extended School Day Care during early dismissal so that we can appropriately plan for supervision.  Registration forms are available in our office.

Our pizza fundraisers are cash, only.  Be sure to send your student’s payment in a sealed envelope that is labeled with their name, the amount, and ‘Pizza Friday
