Welcome Back To School!
Welcome back Tigers!
On our opening day, Grades 1-4 will have signs on the Plaza of Teacher / Classroom numbers for morning line up. These locations will be the same for dismissal. Students in Grades 5-8 will enter the building from the Wescott Street Entrance and report directly to their homerooms. For the safety of all of our Tigers – We are asking families to use the Wescott Street Entrance during school hours. Please use this entrance when entering the building for late arrivals, dismissals and meetings; as the school uses the plaza, field and playground areas for recess and class related activities.
