NEW SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND CORI REQUIREMENTS!
  • All parents/grandparents/family members who are expecting to be involved in any way with our school’s numerous volunteer opportunities (field trip chaperones, lunch/recess monitors, classroom helpers, etc.) MUST watch the new (and greatly improved) SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING video found on CMG Connect.  Last school year, only new parents and those with outdated training were required to watch the training… this year, everyone must do so!  The training takes about an hour, and directions to create an account can be found on our website, by CLICKING HERE.
Saving Trees in 2019-2020! 
The online registration process we utilized for the first time last year has us looking forward to streamlining our beginning year paperwork processes.  We will be using the FACTS ParentsWeb features more this year to diminish the amount of paperwork our families will need to complete in hard copy.
Please stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks on how you will be using this system for confirming and updating your information through web forms for the 2019-2020 school year!
Handbook update
  • We will be posting the updated 2019-2020 handbook on our website forms and docs page in the coming weeks as well.  Please pay special attention to dress code and uniform requirements, as well as drop-off and pick-up procedures before the first day of school.  We will review any notable changes at the preschool parent orientation and both Welcome Back Parent nights.
