School Supplies for 2013-2014
If you would like to purchase a grade-specific kit of school supplies items, you will have the chance to do so before school ends.  This can save a lot of stress because you will know that your child has exactly what he or she needs for next year and you won’t waste time driving all over town looking for the right items!  The prices are great and the high-quality items come from Staples.  Be watching for your order form during the month of May.

Friendly Reminders to Parents:
 
*****Parents/Visitors may only bring lunch for their own children during the school day. Parents/Visitors may not bring lunch for their child's friend. Parents/visitors may not purchase cafeteria snacks for other students. This is a state requirement that must be followed. Thank you for your help and cooperation.
 
******It is a state requirement that all students attend school. Tardiness, leaving early and missing school interfere with a student's learning. Please make sure that your child is in school from 8:00 - 3:20. When a student is tardy, they start the school day behind and interrupt instruction that has already begun. If a student leaves early on a regular basis, he/she is missing important instruction and disrupting class. If your child is sick, please make sure that you contact our office at 689-6250. Thank you!
