Spring is here — please review the school dress code and clothing policy with your student so they can stay comfortable and school-appropriate as temperatures change.
Attendance matters: Being present every day, arriving on time, and staying for the full school day supports learning and helps students feel connected. If your student will be absent, please notify the office as soon as possible.
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping our students succeed. We value your partnership and the many ways you contribute to our school community. If you have questions about any upcoming events or need assistance, please contact the school office.
