Highlights

  • Committees at Work: Now that we have allocated funds, we are putting our community’s money to work to bring special opportunities to our kids and to purchase supplies and equipment to support excellent classroom and extracurricular experiences. New ideas (big and small) are always welcome!
  • Principal’s Update: Every School Council meeting includes an update from our Principal with time for questions. It’s casual and informative and a great way — especially for new families — to understand how the school runs and how to get information and help.

If you cannot attend or prefer to ask questions anonymously, please submit your questions here.
