Lost and Found overflowing

If your child is missing something, please have them check the Lost and Found section of the cafeteria. The pile of jackets, sweatshirts and lunchboxes is forever growing. Please help us return these items to the rightful owners! Labeling your child's items helps us find the owners of anything left behind. Eventually all unclaimed items are donated to a goodwill agency.

Attendance reminder

It is important that we are able to account for our students on a daily basis. When a child does not come to school and a parent has not called to report the absence, we become concerned about the safety of the child. Therefore, please call the school by 9:30 a.m. to report absences and late arrivals.
The school’s phone number is 785-9203 and a message can be left on the main line. Thank you, in advance for your cooperation!

A note on building evening hours

Our school building is open in the evening until 9:00 p.m. However, if your child needs to return to school for any reason, an adult MUST accompany the child to the classroom. For security purposes, please do not enter the classroom unattended. The evening custodian must escort you to the classroom and wait in the classroom until you have retrieved the item from the room. At no time should anyone be in a classroom unattended.

Label, label, label!

Please remember to label any and all things that are brought into school – jackets, sweaters, lunchboxes, books, etc. This not only saves you from having to replace items, but it also saves teachers, coaches and noon aides lots of time looking for lost items.
