Important announcement: Spring has finally arrived! Many children have been having difficulties with allergies. If there is anything we can do at school to meet the special needs of your child's allergies, please do not hesitate to make the request. The next few weekends, there will be workmen at the schools doing some painting, carpet cleaning, floor repairs and playground maintenance. Should you arrive on Monday mornings and find things in disarray, please be patient. Thank you!
