Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!

 

Safety Tip of the Week:

Thank you for being safety role models for our students!  When they see you following the directions of our traffic control staff, walking around the parking lot rather than through it, etc., you are letting them know that safety is important for everyone.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful long weekend!
