Welcome November! Thank you parents for sending your student prepared for chilly and warmer weather all in the same day. With this comes a larger "lost and found" in the office. If your child is missing a jacket because you sent them to school when it was in the 30's and we sent them home in the 60's, reach out to your child's teacher and to Becky in the office to check our lost and found!
Here is our PK-8 building's November Board Report. Check out the happenings!
