Just a reminder--as the weather gets nicer, the school dress code requires shorts to the bottom of your child's fingertips when their arms are at their sides. Also, no spagehtti straps and tank tops, unless the straps are at least two fingers in width. And no flip flops! They are not safe for the playground. Thank you for your cooperation!

We celebrate birthdays with non-edible treats in 2nd grade due to numerous allergies! Items like pencils, erasers, and small trinkets are great items for treats! I will still make sure we sing and make your child's day special. Thank you for your cooperation!
