A Note From Our Principal,
Happy New Year! We can’t wait to spend 2019 with you and your children!
Thank you to all who participated in our holiday giving initiative last month. We were able to collect more than 30 toys for our Toys for Tots Drive and our Lil’ Shoppers Shoppe was also a great success,with many of our students shopping for their whole families at our Pop-up Store! Your generosity is truly appreciated!

Illness Policy
Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:
- Fever of 100 degrees of more—must be fever free for 24 hours with no fever-reducing medicine before returning to school
- Vomiting, diarrhea or stomach upset
- Heavy nasal discharge requiring wiping every 3-5 minutes
- Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
- Sore throat
- Skin rash
- Head lice
- Symptoms of a communicable disease
- Fussy, cranky behavior unlike child’s normal demeanor that may indicate illness
For more information please see our Parent Handbook or reach out to a member of our administrative team.
If you would like to participate in our Martin Luther King Home Project please click on the link above to download the Project Template. You may also pick up the project from the office. Please note if you print it at home that it is on a legal size piece of paper.

We look forward to all of the submissions!
