Just an FYI for our parents who receive school updates via email and through the  school blog,  Comcast may be blocking this from your account.  It was brought to our attention that a few parents were not receiving the updates and they happen to subscribe through Comcast.  IF this is the case please contact your Comcast provider.

LUNCH ACCT INFORMATION
A favor to ask….when sending in lunch money for your students, if you could put the money/check in an envelope with the student’s FIRST and LAST NAME, AND THE TEACHER’S NAME this would be a huge help!  Thank you!
