PRINCIPAL UPDATE
There is no school tomorrow, Friday, November 10th, in honor of Veterans Day.
We are eternally grateful for all of the Veterans in our Northeast Community. Thank you for your bravery and thank you for your service β€οΈπ€π
There is a Veterans Day Ceremony and Circle of Remembrance Dedication at 11:00am on Saturday, November 11th at the Circle of Remembrance next to City Hall.
Now that the weather is getting colder, we want to remind families that children should be dressing appropriately for the weather - jackets, hats, mittens, etc. We have also done some inventory in our Northeast Boutique and have determined that we are running low on winter outerwear. If anyone has gently used jackets they no longer need, we would love to take them off your hands as we are aware of several students who could benefit from a new warm jacket. Thank you ππ
We still have some tuition-based openings for our Integrated Pre-K Program. Please find information here: Integrated Preschool Information & Application
