ATTENTION PARENTS!  Please make sure you are using the parent drop off/pick up loop at the school when dropping off or picking up your student.  Community members have notified the school of an increase in parents parking on residential streets, especially after school.  Specifically, there are concerns over cars parked at 85th Dr. and W Maya Dr., and 84th Dr. and W.

FROM OUR CAFETERIA:

School Breakfast is Cool!

Everyday is a perfect day for school breakfast!

As the summer approaches, kids often become more restless and distracted at school. You can help to make sure that their last weeks of school are productive by ensuring that they begin the day with a nutritious breakfast. Studies show a good breakfast makes kids more alert, less distractible, and better behaved in school; it can even improve their test scores!

Let’s keep our students focused by making sure they begin every school day with a balanced meal at home or at the School Breakfast Program.
