Other Important Info:

• School Supplies: In an effort to give teachers flexibility to choose the supplies that best support their students—and to save families a trip to the store—we are requesting a $100 voluntary classroom supply contribution per student in lieu of a traditional classroom supply list. This approach helps ensure classrooms are stocked with consistent, high-quality materials. More details will be shared soon. If this is a hardship, please let us know.
