receives an N on the report card in the Work/Study section, he/she will not be on the Honor Roll. (This applies to behavior as well). It does not apply to handwriting.
Conferences• Conference week will be October 19-23rd
• Please send us a note or an email to request other conferences throughout the school year. We will get back to you to set up a date and time!

visitor’s pass.• Then, meet us inside the dining room

Tardies
• Please have your child to school by 7:50. It would be even better if they could arrive by 7:30.
