2021-2022 Start Up Information
Hello All!
We are so excited for the new school year - it will be the 100th year of schooling on site.
Here is some fall start-up information:
1) Homeroom Postcards will be mailed around August 15. Students should receive a postcard from their teacher shortly after with information about their homeroom, classroom, and start date.
2) Get the Scoop / Open House / Meet the Teacher is scheduled for August 30, 1-3 pm. Families are welcome to drop by the school to meet teachers, drop off supplies, and grab a bowl of ice cream. Families that pre-ordered school supplies can pick up at this time.
3) School Supply Lists can be found here.
4) 2021/2022 School Calendars can be found here.
