School Business
Temple Sinai - No Parking
Our Brimhurst neighbors at Temple Sinai need our help and cooperation. Please do not congregate and extend play time after school in their parking lot, trees, or the adjacent property.  This will become especially critical in the coming weeks because Temple Sinai is opening a school and cannot accommodate additional foot traffic and/or vehicles on or around their property. We love that our children enjoy playing together with their friends, however please find another location.
Picture Day is Coming
Thursday, March 24th is Casual Picture Day. All students may wear free dress day clothing in accordance with our dress code guidelines. Please refer to the Parent/Student Handbook below to review appropriate free dress day clothing.
