Hey cougars! We’re excited to invite you to Wellness Night on Thursday, January 22, from 5:00–6:30 PM. Come spend an evening with us focused on wellness, balance, and healthy habits for the whole family. It’s a great chance to learn new tips, connect with other parents, and have some fun together.
We can’t wait to see you—come ready to relax, explore, and have a great time!
Our Scholastic Book Fair will be held in the Library on Dec. 8-12! We will be open in the mornings from 7:30-8 am daily and students will also be allowed to purchase books during their Library Encore time. We will also be open for Family Literacy Night on Dec. 11th.
We accept all forms of payment, but an easy way to set up payment for your scholar is to set up an “ewallet.” An ewallet is an online form of payment that allows you to add funds to an account for your scholar to use so they don’t have to carry cards or cash. Visit our school’s Book Fair Homepage to set one up today:
