            Campus Announcements

            • Rylander Family,

               

              Happy New Year to you and your family! We were happy to welcome back students today and start our new semester. On behalf of the staff and myself, we would like to thank our parents for all of the amazing gifts and treats brought to the campus during the holiday season. We were overwhelmed with your genericity and truly appreciate the thoughtfulness, time and money spent to show the staff gratitude for all of their hard work. THANK YOU!

               

              As we start the new semester, we will be cleaning up the lost and found area. Parents are welcome to come to campus and go through the lost and found items located outside of the cafeteria. We will keep all items from first semester for one more week then student council will make a donation of the lost and found items to a charitable organization next week. Please remember to put a first and last name on water bottles, jackets and sweaters. All items that have a first and last name with a permanent marker on the item will be returned to students and all items not picked up by next Monday will be donated to charity. As you can see in the pictures below, we have lots of lost items. Remind students to stop by the lost and found area as well to pick up lost items.

               
               
               

              Update to Arrival Kindergarten Drive

              For those ECSE-1st grade parents who drop-off their students in the Kindergarten Drive, please note that the drive will be closing at 7:47 a.m. each morning. Staff will stay in the drive to help the remaining students exit their cars but cars who arrive after the cones have been placed in the drive's entrance will need to proceed to the front drive where staff receive students up until 8:00 a.m. Thank you for your understanding.
