First Day
We are so excited for the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year beginning Wednesday, August 20! You should have received a postcard in the mail with your child's teacher and classroom listed. All students should line up by classroom on the playground blacktop prior to 8 am on Wednesday morning.
Please note that since the first day is a Wednesday, it is also a teacher collaboration day with early student dismissal. Grades k-3 will be dismissed at 12:10 (this was incorrectly listed as 2:10 on the blue postcard), and grades 4-6 will be dismissed at 12:15.
Meet and Greet
On Tuesday August 19 there will be a meet and greet from 8am to 9am and a kindergarten Orientation from 9:30-10:30.
