School Closing
In the event of inclement weather, we make every effort to remain open.

You will also receive closing information for any emergency situation through our Facebook page or through Tadpoles, which works by phone and email. You may also use the school’s answering machine. If it is necessary to close early, for any reason, the school will contact each family directly.Birthdays and Special Occasions
Throughout the year we celebrate a variety of special events: Halloween Parties, Thanksgiving Feasts, Holiday Shows, etc. Families and friends are welcome to join our celebrations. Please let your child’s teacher know in advance that you would like to bring in a special treat (cupcakes, cookies) for your child’s birthday.
