Sports parents: please be on the lookout for additional information on how to view/order your photos. We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of all our athletes this season!

Winter Bags
“Winter Weather Bags“ (formerly “Blue Bags“) have been sent home for each student. We ask that you fill these bags with gear for snowy days: a pair of snow pants, mittens, boots, etc. These items will stay at school and students will be using them during outdoor play. After each use, the bag of clothes will be sent home to be “dried out”. We ask that all students bring their bags back to school with them on Tuesday, January 7.
