Viper Monthly Sept. 2022 Edition

Dear Viper Families,

What a wonderful first month of school! As we continue to work together for the benefit of our school community, please ensure that you connect with your child's classroom teacher through Class Dojo and review the items that come home in the red Thursday folder.

Our school arrival and dismissal processes have continually gotten smoother. Just a reminder that only bus students use Door #1 in the morning. All other K-4 students should use Door #9 and PreK students use Door #12. The school opens at 7:15 for breakfast and school begins at 7:50.

If you need to adjust your dismissal instructions, please do so before 2:00 to ensure a smooth dismissal.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook!
