Keep up to date this summer!

Keep an eye out for communication from us throughout the summer! If your mailing address or email change, make sure to let us know so you can receive all communications about the upcoming school year.

Warmer weather is here!

As the weather warms, our children are having more and more opportunities to be outside to play! Please make sure your child is wearing shoes with an enclosed toe and heel. You may also want to bring in sunscreen as we spend more time outside. Make sure to get a sunscreen form and return the form with your sunscreen to the office. As a reminder, we cannot administer aerosol spray sunscreen – lotions, sticks and pump sprays are acceptable.
