Primary Pride Sept. 29, 2020

Please make sure that you are going through the correct car line for pick up. We are running only the green line (3-5) and yellow line (K-2 and their siblings) this school year. We appreciate allowing us grace in this time of implementing a new dismissal system!

Families: remember to read your grade level newsletter each week to get important information that is specific to that grade.

As we phase in 4th and 5th grade on-campus instruction next week, these are the drop off areas:

Reminder: Primary Pride newsletters are saved on our website so that you can always find them and refer back to them.

Incoming on-campus learners: check the 9/16 newsletter for maps and more!
