Back To School Night Reminder

As we are returning to normalcy, we are working hard to welcome our school community back into the school. However, Back To School Night is really an event for parents and guardians only. Please don't bring your children to this event as it adds more people into the mix. We want to ensure that all are safe and healthy.

Also, please be aware that we're expecting many people to attend. Parking will be at a premium. If you can car pool, or walk, that would be ideal.

Finally, I'll have 150 seats set up in the all purpose room (cafeteria) for our welcome sessions there. If more than 150 people come to the session, then we will be able to accommodate extra people standing around the edges of the room.

PARENT DIRECTORY

Many people have asked for a centralized way to gather contact information of other families in the district.

If you would like to share your contact information to a grade level parent directory, please complete this PARENT DIRECTORY SURVEY by Friday, October 14. We are partnering with the PTA to make this available to our parent community to help facilitate play dates, birthdays, and other communications.
