  • Please Note!!  Recently more and more students have been coming to school right at or just after the 7:45 bell when school begins.  While our school day doesn't officially start until then, it does take your students a bit of time to get to our classroom and get unpacked. This can be somewhat disruptive since we begin our class immediately following announcements. Please also note that if your child will be having breakfast at school, they need to be here early enough to eat and be in class by 7:45.   Thanks so much for your attention to this matter.
