Happy New Year and welcome back! We hope you had a restful and joyful holiday season. As we embark on the second half of the school year, we are excited to continue the academic and personal growth of our students.<\/p>\n

Lost and Found<\/strong><\/span>
\nLast chance- All items that still remained before the break have been packed up and are in 3 black garbage bags in the front entrance.\u00a0 These items will be donated to charity on Friday, January 10th.<\/p>\n

Late Arrivals<\/strong><\/span>
\nIf your child is arriving late we request that parents do not walk them to their classrooms as all late children need to report to the office for a late slip.\u00a0 A reminder that there is a 8:25 am warning bell and that classes begin at 8:30 am.<\/p>\n
