School Supplies
If you purchased your school supplies (Edukits) online last school year, they will be delivered to your child's classroom the 1st day of school. If you still need to purchase school supplies, please click here for the list by grade level.
New This Year: Please Supply a Set of Headphones for Your Child
 In order for all children to have headphones that they can comfortably use, and to aide in keeping them sanitary, we felt it important to have each child bring his/her own headphones. These will stay with your child at school and will be returned to you at the end of the year to use next year. Please send them to school by the end of the second week. What type of headphones? - Over-the-ear headphones are ideal.
- In-ear headphones (used with iPhone/iPod type devices) are also fine.
- Our computer equipment requires a standard headphone jack of 1/8" (sometimes also called 3mm). This is the smaller of the two currently prevalent jack standards.
If you are unable to purchase headphones, please let your child's teacher know. |
Important: Please Read Our Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures

Kindergarten Helpers Needed
Can you spare a couple of hours to help in a Kindergarten classroom?
 Volunteers are needed in the Kindergarten classrooms the first three weeks of school, until the regular parent volunteer schedule begins.
Please select one of two time periods: 9-11 a.m. or 11-1 p.m. and consider working the same time each week. It's a great way to give back to the school, while helping the newest and youngest members of our school community!
Please click here to sign up. - Thank you! |
