CHECK THE LOST & FOUND – This is the time of year where it’s cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon that means students often misplace or leave their jackets at school. Please come check the lost & found to make sure you gather those left items. The lost & found will be picked up on Friday, September 30, please make sure you come by to claim you items before they are taken for donation.

Note: Please make sure jackets, gloves, sweaters, lunchboxes, backpacks, and anything else your student might leave behind, are labeled with your student’s first and last name. The parent volunteer who takes care of our lost & found will return them to your student if they are clearly labeled.
