First day of school
In the past many parents have walked with their students to class, I regret that we will not be able to allow this this year. We will have many adults at the front of the building waiting to take your child to class if they need assistance. Students will be able to meet their teacher at the back to school drive by on Wednesday, August 19 from 6-7. Teachers will hand out information and greet their new students.
