Dear families, now is the PERFECT time to pre-pay for your child's lunches. We know going back to paid lunches is going to be a bit of a change. Some families are finding that pre-paying now eases the burden a bit. Stop in at the school at any time!

Just a reminder, there will be no summer reading experience this week. We hope everyone enjoyed it this summer! If you have any books, they can be returned to the office or at the beginning of the school year. There are supplies in the office to make wild animal magnets and pinwheels!

Therefore, we will have the second testing on August 2 at 10 AM at the school for all students that did not participate in the concussion testing on June 8th . Please make arrangements to be here if you need to complete the concussion testing.
