We want to keep you informed about a possible change to our Valentine’s Day plans due to the weather forecast. If school is canceled due to snow, we will not be able to hold our planned Valentine’s Day parties. However, in lieu of a class party students will still have the opportunity to exchange valentines when we return to school on Tuesday, February 18th.
Please stay tuned for any weather-related updates from the school, and thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We appreciate your support in making sure all students still get to enjoy this fun tradition!

The South Gates for car rider pickup (K-2) will open at 3:10 pm Monday through Thursday and at 1:50 pm on Fridays. Only school staff are to open the gates. This helps keep everyone safe by making sure no students are on the playground or on their way there before it's time. If the gates aren’t opened by those times, please let the office know by calling 229-8060.
