Parents are responsible for making sure that students adhere to the proper dress code and will be called to bring a change of clothes if students are dressed inappropriately.

A Note from the Home & School Association
|

The Home and School Association has been working with our Art Instructor, Mrs. Durando and "Square 1 Art" to support the arts and help our Pre-K through Grade 5 students feel like accomplished artists. They've created beautiful masterpieces and lasting memories! Learn more about "Square 1 Art"
HERE.
Parents will be receiving their child's masterpiece very soon! "Square 1 Art" products are wonderful keepsakes and make great holiday gifts! Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 will complete their own projects in the Spring.
The H.S.A. would also like to thank all the families who set-up trunks at our Annual Trunk or Treat event. We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and kind words. A big thank you to Kareen Powaza and Tara Edwards for organizing the event! Although it was a little damp outside, there were still lots of smiles on the faces of our students. That's what we want to see!
Don't forget to join us on Wednesday, November 8th for our General Meeting!
Thank you for your continued support!
