Safety Procedures – We are asking everyone to pick up children in the car line at the front gate.  This will be the only gate open during dismissal.  Please do not walk to pick up your child(ren).  Also, children cannot be checked out after 1:45.  If you must check out early, make sure to do so before this time.

Scrip - Did you know that you can earn money toward your tuition just for making your everyday purchases?  That’s right many retailers sell gift cards to our school at a discount.  You pay face value for the gift cards and the discount is split 50/50 between the family and the school.  The families portion is placed in a special tuition account and credit is given toward the next year’s tuition.  Many families earned enough last year to have July and August tuition paid for. WOW!!! Consider participating in this program.  If you would like more information please call the office.  Orders are due in the office on Tuesday’s by 9:00am and are distributed on Friday.  Please see the link to the right to download the order form.
