Planning Ahead for End of Year Events

As we get ready for the end of the year events, we want to communicate district expectations so things run smoothly.

We are required to scan ids for all visitors on campus during school hours. Visitors MUST have a valid ID or Passport to be scanned for campus access. This helps us with our number 1 priority--Student & Staff Safety.

*Play Day 2026 is scheduled for Friday, May 22nd
Award Ceremonies are as follows:
  • May 26th: PreK @ 8:30; Kinder @ 12:30; 1st @ 2:00
  • May 27th: 2nd @ 8:30; 3rd @ 12:30; 4th @ 2:00
  • May 28th: 5th @ 9:00

Flyers have gone home to scan for Playday and Award Ceremonies.

You can come up and scan your id any time during the day. Please be aware that the office is busiest during morning arrival and afternoon pick up, so it may take longer than usual.
