Birthday books for children with March and April birthdays will be presented in the library during their library classes the week of April 18.  Please contact Mrs. Wise by April if your child would like to present a book or if you have any questions.  

Carpool Safety

When driving in the carpool line, please proceed slowly and keep a watchful eye out for our faculty and staff who are directing traffic. We had a couple of near misses this week whereby staffers were almost hit by speeding or distracted drivers.
We also ask that cell phones NOT be used while driving in the carpool line.  Thank you so much for your support as we strive to keep our students, faculty, and staff safe.
