If you plan to volunteer for the 2024-2025 school year please go to the district website and start your paperwork so you are ready to go. You will need to complete this information if you want to volunteer in the classrooms or go on field trips.
With that, I would like to wish students, parents & caregivers, and school staff a safe, restful and rewarding summer. Hopefully we will all get the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends and come back to school with a sense of rejuvenation in the fall.
Respectfully,
Carol Leonard Principal
