Playground Use

Every day during the hours of 2:45-6 MEDLC is being held at the school so, please refrain from using the playground equipment during that time, unless your child is taking part in the MEDLC program.  The playground is not open to the public during those hours.  

  • We will be selling Save-A-Lot coupon books.  One has been sent home with one of your children.  To purchase the copy sent home, or additional copies, please go to https://www.sapaynow.com/268838.  If you do not wish to purchase the book, please sent it back to school with your child.  Click here for more information.    


  • We will honor the Week of Respect with a “Theme of the Day” and daily challenges. Please encourage your children to dress up each day and emphasize the theme. Feel free to use these messages to spark family conversations asking, “What does respect mean to you?” and “How did you complete the challenge today?”  Click here to see the schedule of events.  



  • We have a new lunch program that allows you to place orders for a day, a week, a month, or up to 8 a.m. the same day. You can also plan lunches for the entire month. A simple log-on site with an easy-to-read menu, no service charge, and easy credit card payment system makes ordering a snap.
