Update 8/16/26:
Dear Parents,
We want to provide you with an update as we prepare for the new school year. The recent storms that have moved through our area have had a significant impact on the surrounding community. Before students can safely return, our building must be fully operational, with all utilities and support systems functioning properly.
Currently, the projected first day of school for all students in grades K through 8 is Monday, August 24, 2026. Before and After Care for K thru 8 begins Monday August 24, 2026. See below for Early Childhood and Toddler scheduling. Thank you for your continued patience, understanding, and support as we work toward reopening the school safely. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
Thank you and stay safe.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS DAYS
Wednesday, March 24
Thursday, March 25
Family and Friends Days are very special, but they can also be distracting. For
this reason, we have limited the days for these visits to SCHEDULED
DATES AND TIMES. We know that you will understand, and we thank you
for your cooperation. A family member or family friend is welcome to come
to school to visit the classroom, work with your child, and meet classmates
and friends. We hope that you make this a “special” day for your child.
Please note the following:
Toddler visitors are invited to visit between 8:45 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. We
recommend that this special visit be no longer than one-half hour and that
toddlers leave with their special visitor since separation at this age can be
difficult.
Visitors for early childhood and/or kindergarten students are invited to visit
between 8:45 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. We recommend that these visits be no
longer than one hour. Please be sure to notify the office if the special visitor
will be taking your child home.
Elementary visitors are invited to visit between 1:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M.
Visitors may pick up the student for lunch at 11:30 A.M. and return for the
start of the afternoon class at 1:00 P.M. Please be sure to notify the office if
the special visitor will be taking your child home.
