Spring Reminders ...

As warmer weather seems to be here (finally), it is time for our annual reminders regarding Spring fever!

 

*        Shorts and tank tops are okay provided they offer appropriate coverage - no short shorts or belly shirts.  

*       Please have your student(s) wear a helmet if biking to school.  A bike lock is also a good idea.  There is a bike rack out back.  

*      Thank you for not sending your students to school in heelies - they really place a lot of wear and tear on our flooring.
