Wow it's the last week of school until we are back from winter break! The kiddos did great during the performance, thank you to all that were able to make it.
Due to the recent tragic event, the school as a whole has tightened security in the building. I know this is a lot of information to take in, but please take the time to read.
Classroom doors will be closed at all times, please knock loudly and we will open the door as soon as we can
Please let teachers know if anyone else other than you is picking up your child and let them know to bring a photo ID
Front doors to the school will be locked at all times, except for morning drop off time and afternoon pick-up time. If doors are locked come around to the north side of the building to be let in by the preschool classroom. Knock on the window and you will be buzzed in.
