End-of-Year Information

Last day for students is Wednesday, June 2 at 1:00pm.

Prime Time will not be in session.
Breakfast will be served as usual.
Lunch- Students should bring their lunches (including a drink). Lunch times will vary and students will likely be eating outdoors, so please send lunches in a sack rather than in a lunch box so the trash can be disposed of easily. Please, no glass bottles or containers.

Students Who Owe Money- Students who owe money to the school for breakfast, lunch, lost books, pictures, etc. need to make payment in the office before the last day of school. Students who still owe money on the last day of school will not receive their report cards until payment is received. Report cards can be picked up at the office the following week.

Library Books- All library books must be returned to the library before the last day of school.

Student Medications- These have to be picked up by 3:30pm Friday, May 28th. Medications can not be sent home with students, they need to be given to/picked up by an adult. Any medications left behind will be flushed and containers thrown away.

Incoming Kindergarteners- Please make sure you have all the immunizations on your student and the dates turned into the school. Any student with noncompliant shots will be excluded from school until updated.
