There is NO SUPERVISION. In addition our tardy bell rings at 8:50. If

Purpose Room doors, call the office and someone will come momentarily to
let them in and have them check in with the office for a tardy slip to go to class.

Thank you to all parents who volunteered in classrooms this year. 
We are very grateful for all of the time and hard work you put forth
