Lost and Found


Parents, all of our uniforms look alike! Lost and Found gets pretty full throughout the year. Please make sure to put your child’s name on EVERYTHING so we can return lost items. Also, don’t forget to label water bottles- many of those get lost, too!

Starting next week, parents can join their child(ren) for lunch! If you wish to have the school lunch (provided by our awesome new nutrition provider, Thomas Cuisine) you must sign in at the serving line. You will be billed via FACTS at $6 per meal.
