Important Reminder for Parents & Guardians Moving forward, when sending money to school for any purchases, activities, or events, please make sure you send the exact amount needed. Unfortunately, we are unable to make change or apply leftover money toward other student accounts or purchases. To keep our records accurate and ensure all money is accounted for properly, we cannot split payments between different purposes. If the exact amount is not sent, the money will be returned home with your student. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep this process organized and running smoothly. Thank you!

🦃 Thanksgiving Dinner Reminder! 🦃 Parents and guardians, if you plan to join your child for our Thanksgiving dinner and would like to purchase a meal, all payments must be submitted by tomorrow, November 5!
