Parents coming through the Elementary car line of an afternoon. We as a district are asking that after you have picked up your child(ren) that as you exit campus you ONLY make a right turn (towards 63) on College Ave. We think that this will help alleviate some congestion and allow traffic to flow in a smoother manner.
On this first day of school, Ms. Langley's class spent time team building and completing get to know you activities. Proud of these learners for #StrivingForExcellence

This alternative is referred to as the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). All students enrolled at this school may participate in the breakfast and lunch program at no charge.
