Picture Day – July 23 – Tuesday

1-2-3 Cheese! Our school picture day is next Tuesday July 23.

Back-to-School-Night – July 24-25

Our Back-to-School-Nights (BTSN) are next Wednesday (1st – 5th) and Thursday (6th-8th) – July 24 and 25.

Please note that both days are modified day. That means 1st-3rd graders are dismissed at 1:25pm and 4th – 8th graders are dismissed at 1:30pm.

There is no BTSN for Kindergarten because there is a special orientation for kindergarten.
