Notice to Parents: We would like to advise you that students, parents, and family are welcome to all school events. We appreciate your participation and making our events successful. We do ask that parents accompany their children at all times. The school is not responsible for children left unattended. If any child is known to be dropped off at a school event without a parent, the student/s will no longer be able to attend any other school event throughout the school year. If it is a school function that is only for students, such as a school dance, we ask that parents be on time to pick up their child. Aviso para Padres: Nos gustaría informarle que los estudiantes, padres, y la familia son bienvenidos a todos los eventos escolares. Agradecemos su participación y hacer nuestros eventos exitosos. Pedimos que los padres acompañan a ss hijos en todo momento. La escuela no es responsable de niños desatendidos. Si cualquier niño es conocido por ser dejados en un evento de la escuela sin un padre, el estudiante ya no podrá asistir a cualquier otro evento de la escuela durante el año escolar. Si es una función de la escuela que es sólo para los estudiantes, como un baile, le pedimos que los padres recojan a su estudiante a tiempo.
