Reminders:

Please remember to drop off your child on Matson Road rather than Jacklin Road as it is less busy.
The hot lunch program is available to everyone. *If you need financial assistance in order for your child/children to participate in this program, please contact the school regarding our payment options.
Please avoid sending junk food such as pop, chips, chocolate bars and candy to school. Save those items for special occasions when your children are at home. We sometimes have parties at school too, but for the most part, we are trying to reduce the amount of sugar children eat or drink at school. Thank you for your attention to this policy.
