Open House / Supply Drop-Off (Tuesday, August 11, 5:00PM-7:00 PM)
Traditional Open House/School Supply Drop-Off is designed to give parents and students an opportunity to meet & greet their teachers and become more familiar with the layout of the building. We are sending this message out to encourage you not to attend Open House / Supply Drop-Off if you are familiar with the building. The goal in sending this out to you is to minimize the number of parents and students in the building. Supplies can be brought in during the first days of student attendance. If you choose to attend this event, please limit your group size to one parent and the child attending that building.
Our drivers and transportation department will be available during Open House / Supply Drop-Off to answer questions and provide pick and drop off times. This year our drivers will be located at the bus garage to answer any questions on Tuesday, August 11, from 5:00 PM-7:00 PM.

I was fortunate to have outstanding role models like Mr. Skertich, Mr. Malone, Mr. Legendre, Mr. Kuba and Ms. Long when I was in school. Ms. Long was simply passionate about teaching. Mr. Kuba taught me to respect authority. Mr. Malone encouraged me to enjoy learning. Mr. Legendre was one of those guys that everyone loved. And Mr. Skertich was simply that guy who I wanted to be like when I grew up.”
