Rain is in the forecast. Please note our "Rainy Day" Drop off and Pick up procedures for carline. 1. Stop at the cone with the blue top. 2. Wait for a staff member to get your child out in the morning or bring your child to the car in the afternoon. 3. Be patient because rainy days will take longer. Staff members will walk each child under an umbrella to and from the cars.


Tomorrow is the last day to pay for Pizza for the year. There will be 4 pizza days throughout the year. You can not pay for this individually. Also, tomorrow is the last day we will accept "pre-pay bundles" (class shirt + snoballs + pizza for the year). *Note: If your student is absent the day of pizza or snoballs, your money will not be refunded. It will be donated to our fundraiser. We will still accept money for class shirts after tomorrow, but they need to be ordered ASAP so please turn in your money.
