Our first Parent Advisory Group meeting of the year will be taking place on Wednesday, September 21st at 3:45 P.M.

Our Parent Advisory Group meets throughout the year to discuss topics related to school and provide input. Last year, as a group we discussed such topics as our morning drop-off procedures and family communication. As a result, we have made improvements to our drop-off by adding more crossing guards, adding visuals to assist with our drop-off lane, and adopted Seesaw as our main tool for family communication.

Our PTO can only run our events with the help of our amazing families. Please consider signing up for one of our yearly events or committees by going to PTO Event Committee SignUp.
