🚗 Car Rider Reminder 🚗

Don’t forget your car tags for pickup tomorrow! These were sent home on Friday.

We noticed the car rider line moved a little quicker on Friday, and we’re expecting it to be even smoother this week.

For everyone’s safety, please remain in your vehicle during pickup. With so many moving cars, we want to make sure everyone stays safe and avoids any accidents.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient!

We love our Bear Cubs!

Go Bears!

We are excited to welcome everyone back for the first day of school!

For our Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade families:
We’ve received several questions about meeting the teacher and parking on the first day.

To help things run smoothly, please wait until all buses have unloaded before entering the main parking lot. Once that happens, you may park and come in through the front entrance to meet the teacher and drop your child off.

We can't wait to see all of our Bear Cubs—it’s going to be a great year!

Go Bears!
