Parents and Guardians - Come meet that special person with whom your child will be spending a good part of their day. Learn what they have planned for the school year.  Informed parents are an important part of children's success. This year Back-to-School Night will be held September 1st from 4 - 7 PM (See Activities below).   We look forward to seeing you all that evening. 

Please respect the request that you leave children at home.  This is a time for parents and guardians only to focus on the business of educating their students.  There will be no supervision for children at this event.  

Individual conferences will take place in November.  If you cannot wait until then, please make an appointment to meet at another time.  

Reminder:  School will be dismissed at 1:38 PM.  Please arrange for your child to be picked up at the bus stop or playground according to early dismissal.

Did you know it is PTA that has sponsored in the past: Psychomotor, Science Lab, Vintage Library, Computer Lab, Special Student Assemblies, Harvest Festival, Winter Social, and Spring Auction?   Let PTA know if you have any ideas for programs and activities that would benefit our students.
