Welcome back to another school year! We hope everyone had a fun and restful summer! Below are some details regarding our upcoming school year:
First day of school: Tuesday, Sep 7, 2021, for all students K-6.
Water Fountains - The water fountains will not be open for the beginning of the school year. However, we will have the water bottle filling stations available. It is very important that all students have a water bottle each day.
