A "Lost and Found" department is maintained in the school. Parents would be amazed at the amount of clothing that is unclaimed at the end of the year. Please have your children check the lost and found box if they are missing articles of clothing (or eyeglasses, jewelry, etc.).
If your child needs to take any medications during the school day, the school nurse is required to have a physicians order on file each school year. The medication must be brought in to the school by an adult; no student is permitted to transport their medication to school. The medication must be in its original, labeled container.
If you should leave the district, please notify the elementary principal's office at least one week prior to your departure. We will send your children's records when the new district requests them.
