Valentine's Day Deliveries

February 3, 2017

This year, in an effort to minimize distractions and interruptions to instructional time, in addition to transportation/bus safety precautions, deliveries of flowers, balloons, etc. made to the school will not be given to students during the school day.   If something is delivered to the school for a student, the student may pick it up from the office at the end of the day.  If a student rides a bus home, the student’s parent will be contacted to pick up the item(s).  These items will not be allowed on the bus.

There will be no school on Monday, February 20 in observance of Presidents' Day.  Classes will resume on Tuesday, February 21.
