We also need a few volunteers to help organize the yearbook submissions, orders and deadlines! If you are interested please send an email to [email protected]

Thank you in advance!

Please note that we will have a Spring event to showcase the Art pieces, with event TBD.

If your child did not have their picture taken a few weeks ago, or if you are unhappy with their picture, then don’t miss picture retake day on Tuesday, November 30th!

If you would like a retake, please return the entire photo package to your child’s teacher by November 30th.
