Earlier today, a toilet in one of our bathrooms broke and caused some flooding in the 2nd and 3rd grade hallway. Out of caution, we quickly relocated students to a different area to ensure they were comfortable and safe.
The issue has already been repaired, and we are in the process of cleaning and drying the affected hallway.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We have recently noticed an increase in dress code concerns at school. To help maintain a positive and focused learning environment, we want to remind everyone of our dress code expectations.
Please take a moment to review the Dress Code Policy by clicking the link below:
