PRE-K Registration! Please check out the flyer for more information.

We were made aware that some parents are not receiving information about happenings occurring at school. We are always looking at ways to improve, so if you have a concern, please contact Mrs. Smith. Also, please make sure we have an updated phone number and email. Here are a few ways we communicate: every elementary teacher sends out a newsletter with upcoming events. Many of them also use the Remind app to share out information. All of our events are on our school calendar and on our website. We also send texts, voice messages, and information to our social media pages as well as our website.
