IMPORTANT REMINDER TO PARENTS!
During this time when weather starts changing, children tend to get sick. We're doing our part by making sure they wash their hands very often during the day. We're also constantly cleaning tables and chairs, bathrooms, etc. We're also thoroughly disinfecting our classrooms.
PLEASE HELP US STOP THE SPREAD OF DISEASES
BY KEEPING THEM HOME IF THEY'RE SICK.
Thank you!

SCHOOL SAFETY IS A PRIORITY

THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS
IS A PRIORITY!

We've taken numerous measures to secure our Campus. This includes keeping the front door locked with a "Ring" audio/video system, installing new fencing and new locks on all gates, installing new high def 24/7 surveillance cameras in all exterior areas and in the interior of many 1st thru 8th Grade classrooms.

Teachers have also received extensive training and have attended important workshops on Code Red situations.
