What a Wonderful First Day!
Yesterday marked a successful start to the school year—it was smiles all around, and we are looking forward to a wonderful year ahead!
Just a quick reminder for families:
• Our mantrap is still under construction. Not all the doors are usable in this area just yet. You may still use the door by the flag pole between 8-2.
• If you are visiting for the Preschool or Kindergarten Open House, please park in the parking lot area on Route 2. Signs will direct you to enter at Door 10. ( door shown in picture)
Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly!
Parents and Guardians, please remember that ALL parent pick-ups must be at door 15 where the playground is on Route 2. No parent pick-ups are to be done on Benjamin Drive (the bus lanes or the back parking lot). Thank you for helping us keep our students and their families safe.
