NEW LUNCH POLICY

In order to minimize traffic in the front office and student's going without lunch - there will be a cart in the gym labeled "Lunch Cart" effective Monday November 21st. If your child does not have a lunch have them check the cart first. If their lunch is not located on the cart they go to the office and see if their lunch is there. Please drop off/deliver lunches no later than 11:00AM for them to be delivered on time. Thank you for helping make this an easy transition.

We invite families who have not yet supported our school through Community Investment this year to consider giving a gift during those 24 hours of #GivingTuesday to show their gratitude.

All gifts made to our school that day will help us get closer to bridging the funding gap of more than $1,500 per student. Plus, our new upgraded giving portals have a digital wallet option and really make it easier than ever to give!
