WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Important Reminder: We’ve noticed some students arriving with takeout drinks in hand. While we understand the occasional treat, we kindly ask that these drinks be finished before students arrive at school. Spills can easily happen on the playground or in the classroom, and we want to keep our learning spaces safe and tidy.
