How can I stay informed about school news?
As of the 2022 – 2023 school year, we are using Class Dojo as our school-wide communication platform. Once you know your child’s teacher, you will be able to connect to their class by scanning the QR code below. Classroom assignments have been posted and can be found at the main school entrance.
