Please remember to pack a lunch, snack, and water bottle in your child's backpack each day. This helps ensure your student is ready for lunch and snack times throughout the school day.
We understand that occasional forgotten items and special celebrations happen! However, our front office is experiencing high demand for lunch deliveries, and we want to make sure we can support families when they truly need it.
Thank you for helping us keep all our students fed, hydrated, and ready to learn!
As we navigate hot (and sometimes rainy!) afternoons in the car loop, we need your help to keep dismissal moving smoothly and safely.
Please hang your family car tag from your rearview mirror before entering the car loop and keep it displayed the entire time you're in line. When tags are held in hands, resting on the dashboard, or not visible, it slows down our ability to match students with cars—which means longer wait times in the heat for everyone.
On sunny days, we want to get your child into your air-conditioned car as quickly as possible. On rainy days, a visible tag helps us get the right student under an umbrella and safely to your car without delay.
Thank you for partnering with us to make dismissal efficient and comfortable for our students!
A Note From Ms. Matlock
Hats and Toys
Our classrooms are a place for learning, growing, and having fun with friends. To help everyone stay focused, we ask that hats and toys stay at home. That way, our classrooms can be distraction-free, and we can all enjoy our time together while learning new things.
