Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep all students safe while making the car rider line run as smoothly as possible.

We understand that busy schedules and the rush of mornings can sometimes lead to students forgetting essential items at home. To ensure a smooth process for delivering these forgotten items, we have established a procedure for dropping off items at the school office.  

Here is how to proceed:

While we understand the need to drop off forgotten items on occasion, we encourage students to develop responsibility and be prepared for their school day as much as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and productive learning environment for all our students. Please feel free to contact the front office if you have any questions.
