This will occur every time you wish to sign you child out, regardless of whether or not the office staff knows who you are. We appreciate your cooperation sa we work to keep all of our children safe.

Sun Shade Update
One of our PTO goals is to purchase a sun shade, (pictured above), for the 1st-4th grade playground located in the back of the school. As many of you know, this playground is in direct sun pretty much all day. During the hot spring & fall days, it can get pretty warm for our kiddos. The cost to purchase a sun shade that will cover the entire playground area, including labor, pe rmits, and drawings is $14,182. The cover is targeted to be installed over spring break since it will take approximately 3 days. In the event that here is bad weather over spring break the cover installation will occur at the next open opportunity.

It is one of the easiest ways that we can get funding for our school since many of you already buy the products that the boxtops come on.
