With such high energy and enthusiasm, this year’s class of 2025 is off to a fantastic start! 🌟

🍎It's that time of year again! As the school year begins, make sure your child is prepared with the necessary supplies and a consistent routine. Review important safety rules, such as using crosswalks and staying alert while traveling to and from school. Please remember during the busy drop off and pickup times to go slow and be prepared for a slightly longer commute these next few days.
Ensure that emergency contact information is current and accessible and encourage open communication with your child about any safety concerns or issues they encounter. 🍎

Here's to another GREAT school year!
