With the year coming to a close, we have several events happening. Please take note of these dates and mark your calendars.
The most important, upcoming event is taking place tomorrow afternoon, Thursday, May 8. This full scale evacuation drill will take place between the hours of noon and 3 pm. Someone MUST be available to pick your children up from school. Please ensure your emergency contact information is up to date. If there have been any recent changes, please contact the office to we can get this squared away. If the person who arrives is not an approved contact, your child will not be released to them. Because the police and fire departments will be using the school to conduct their own training drills, your students will not be allowed back into the school after the drill. Any personal items, including shoes, lunchboxes and coats, can be retrieved on Friday, May 9th.
