To help ensure we practice our physical distancing, our Back to School Bash will be set up differently this year. We have created 15- minute time slots that you can reserve to go into the classroom, drop off supplies and visit with the teacher. Please click on the sign-up sheet that corresponds to the grade of your child and select a time slot that works best for you and your student(s). While we encourage parents and the students to attend, we ask that additional family members not attend at this time.
Please note that 7-12 grade students will be allowed time on August 24th, (during their first hour) to organize their locker.
