Families,
As we enter the cold weather months, please make sure your child's belongings are all labeled with their names. Additionally, please check your child's coats, hats, gloves, etc. when they return home and make sure they are theirs. If they are not, please send them back to school with your child the next day and let your child's teacher or the office know it will be coming back. Thank you for your assistance in making sure all students' belongings are kept safe!
