Construction Zone

Our facelift continues to be a work in progress. As mentioned in May, this is a lenghtly process and your cooperation is needed and greatly appreciated.

As you all know, with any renovations/construction there will be inconveniences. Contractors are working as fast as they can! Staff will lose 15-18 parking spaces and will have to park at the top of the parking lot (by the main entrance). We will also lose some parking in our kindergarten family parking lot. This will have a construction trailer and porta-potty located there.


We would greatly appreciate it if all families would depart from school property ASAP and not congregate as work has to start immediately after students/families are left the school grounds.


We do not anticipate too much of an interruption during our morning drop off. However, our dismissal time will be slower and everyone will need to have extra patience and show cooperation.


LEARNING will resume as usual.  This is exciting news, and we cannot wait to see the finished product! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

SCHOOL LUNCH ASSOCIATION

Registration and information about meal ordering will be sent home in September.  Parents must register before they can order meals! 

ALLERGIES

We are a scent-free school, if you are sending in hand sanitizer for your child(ren) to use, please ensure it is non-scented. We have plenty of non-scented hand sanitizer in each room. We have many students with severe, life-threatening allergies and we must ensure our school is free of:

Nuts (including peanuts, tree nuts and nut products)

Fish

Eggs

Peas

Sesame Seeds (including Hummus)

 *Please alert your child’s teacher as soon as possible if your child has any serious medical conditions or life threatening allergies. There is also a place for this data on the student data sheet. We ask that parents refrain from sending in food items which contain any of these products. The district has determined that given the similarities in appearance, texture and taste of Soy Butter products, they are also restricted in our schools where a student has a peanut allergy. Please help keep everyone safe by following this policy.
