Messages and Deliveries

To minimize classroom interruptions and protect instructional time, the office staff is not able to deliver personal messages or items (i.e., homework, lunch money, books, planners, PE Clothing, etc.) during the school day. The office will only deliver messages in the case of an actual emergency.

Miscellaneous items brought to the office for students will be placed in the “Student Pick Up” area. If your child thinks a delivery may be made they are encouraged to check with the office.

Lunches brought in for students will be placed on the “Lunch Cart” and brought out to the lunch area during your child’s lunch time.
