Close cooperation between the home and school is essential to promote the best interests of your child. Parents are encouraged to visit school and attend scheduled parent/teacher conferences. If you do not have an appointment, please call ahead to schedule one with your child’s teacher.

We encourage you to make a difference in your child’s education by building positive and productive relationships with your child’s teachers and other staff members. In addition, parents are invited and encouraged to participate in school activities.

It is our goal to provide our students with a safe learning environment while equipping them with skills they will need to be contributing and productive members of the twenty-first century. Quality education takes a team effort. Please join us in ensuring your child is on a winning team!
