Riding Buses with Friends .... Not Allowed this Year!
Open House Canceled
PTA General Meeting Postponed
Lunchroom Visits
The district has mandated that we not allow parents to eat lunch with students until further notice. This is because students have their masks down during lunch and they do not want to risk unnecessary additional exposure. We will update you once they lift this new policy. Thank you for your cooperation.
