Elementary Parents and Teachers: Seesaw is now back online. You can continue to use the program. Thank you for patience!

Meal Delivery Now Available: The National School Lunch Program has further relaxed their requirements for school meal service during the school shutdown. Families can organize a pick up for their neighborhood now. Parents or guardians will have to sign a one-time release for their kids' meals, allowing someone else to pick up for them. Parents who will be wanting someone else in their neighborhood to pick up meals will need to sign the release at the site where the meals will be picked up. Those children's meals will need to be picked up at the same site each day. If you are organizing a neighborhood pick up, please bring boxes or bags large enough to carry all the meals you will be picking up.

Elementary Parents and Teachers- Seesaw is experiencing an outage right now. We will let you know when the system is back up and running. In the meantime, take a recess break and enjoy the weather! Thanks Mr. Cannon and Mr. Turner!
