District Office Address: 380 W Old Linden Rd We can’t wait to see everyone tonight! 🎄✨

Good morning families,

With sick season upon us, we kindly ask that you do not send cough drops or other medications to school with students. We have had some issues with students sharing cough drops and eating them throughout the day, which causes distractions in the classroom.

Students are more than welcome to visit our health tech if they need a cough drop during the day. If your student requires a specific type of medication, it will need to be signed into the office.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
