There are some lost and found items at Elementary, near the multipurpose gym. Come take a look to see if any of your students sweatshirts are hanging on our Lost and Found rack!
Elementary Friendly Reminder: With temperatures dropping, especially in the mornings, please make sure your child is ready for the cooler weather with coat or jacket. Per the parent-student handbook, temperatures in the 40s means a coat or jacket is required for recess. If a student does not bring one, they will need to call home. Hoodies, sweatshirts, long-sleeved shirts and cardigans do not count as a coat.
