2012-2013 Kindergarten Registration is ongoing.  Please register your incoming kindergartener as soon as possible.

 

Note from the Transportation Director: Beginning Monday, May 7, traffic on Old Fort Road will be reduced to one lane as contractors begin construction for sidewalk installation.  Most school buses that use Old Fort Road will be detoured. 

Many children from all three schools use that road to walk to and from home.  With the addition of construction equipment and vehicles, it will be even more congested.  Please use extreme caution if you choose to drive on Old Fort Road.  Detouring around that road would be preferable.  Please remind your children who walk on that road to be extra cautious during this phase of construction.
