Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15 and recognizes the achievements and contributions of inspiring Hispanic Americans.


We are busy learning all day long. Our learning environment is disturbed when a student gets checked out at the end of the day. We could use your help in this matter. Please refrain from checking your student out at the end of the day, unless you have an emergency. This will allow teachers and office staff to ensure that your student has everything they need to be successful.
Important information about arrivals and dismissal. Please Read!
