Fall field trips have been set. See dates below. We will need drivers for these events. Please contact your child's teacher if you can drive and help transport students. Paperwork and training are required in advance. Contact Mrs. Dahl or Principal Whitehair for details on requirements. This is a great way to meet stewardship hours and helps us out so much!
We need proof of residence for all K - 5 students. If you have not completed this via the link sent in July and again last week. please do so as soon as possible. You can also bring proof to the school office or send to Principal Whitehair. An August or September utility bill works well. THANK YOU!!
