2025-26 School Year Updates 

Due to our shorter duration on Fridays (9:02 AM-1:05 PM) we will replace our lunch break with a snack break.  The good side of this news is that families will only have to prepare lunches from Monday to Thursday (4-Day Lunch Program).  We also suggest bringing a full water bottle every day.  Lastly, next year our bell times are:
