As we look ahead to a year of high expectations, we are striving to make sure all students have access to great learning experiences and demonstrate success. Our efforts to improve in reading and math will require students and teachers to set expectations for growth, and we look forward to you being an integral part of the process of our kids learning.

Please be prepared to receive students if they are bus riders and please be in our dismissal line if they are car riders. *Parents will need dismissal tags that were either distributed today or from last year for dismissal if you are walking up.
