Please be sure to review your child’s backpack/folder for a medication pick-up notice. Please arrange to pick up your child’s medication on the last days of school: May 30, May 31, and June 1, 2023. I have also attached new health forms for next school year to be completed during the summer.

Please feel free to reach out to me for any forms you may need.

This year parents are invited to come and watch their students participate in Field Day:

• Only 2 adult spectators per student will be allowed to come. No younger siblings or other children will be permitted for safety reasons.
• Parking will be limited so carpooling is suggested.
• Each visitor must fill out the Field Day RSVP form prior to the event.
