Big Kahuna Money Collections

Our fall fundraiser, Big Kahuna, has officially ended. Please turn in all money as soon as possible. These funds will help us purchase items for students throughout the year including inflatables for our Play Day.

Safety Notice for Walkers

We have received reports of students crossing Military Parkway by running across the street instead of using the "catwalk" bridge. This is extremely dangerous. We've been communicating with students, but we need your help. Please talk with your child about using the bridge over Military Parkway to keep them safe as they walk to and from school.

Parent Lunch Schedule

As you're planning to come on campus for parent lunches, please remember to get to campus early. Every parent has to have their ID scanned. This takes time. Coming early will ensure you get your sticker and make it to the cafe when lunch starts.

While eating with your student, we're asking that you're not watching cartoons on your phones. We have games that you can borrow and play.
