Supporting All Students – Families are reminded that all school events, excursions, lunch days, and activities should be accessible for each and every student.  Please contact a staff member if there is a barrier to your child’s participation in a school-based or classroom activity.  Whether this is for financial, physical, social-emotional, or other individual reasons, our staff is willing to work with families to make the necessary accommodations to support your child.
