Student Emergency Pick-up Information

Please make sure that you regularly update your emergency pick-up information and let the people listed know that you have included them. If someone arrives at the school to pick up your child who is not on the list, we will be unable to release your child to him or her. In such a case we will attempt to make contact with the student's parents to receive a faxed or emailed authorization for pick-up, but this may delay their departure significantly. We do this in order to ensure the safety of your children. - Mr. Burroughs

 

Safe Environment Training for Students

We are required to provide annual Safe Environment training for our students in grades Pre-k through 3rd and 7th. Those classes will be taking place in the next few weeks. If you do not want your child to participate, please complete the opt-out form and return it to school by March 12th. - Mr. Burroughs
