Happy Halloween! Have a great weekend.
We are here to help. Each of our schools has a small food pantry. Reach out to your school parent liaison for support.

Have a great weekend.
Today, let's celebrate what brings us together and stand against bullying. Unity Day is all about showing that we are stronger, kinder, and more vibrant when we include everyone.
Bullying thrives in silence. Let's make noise by wearing and sharing orange to show our commitment to a world where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.

The most critical time for students is when they are getting on or off the bus. This area around the bus is known as the Danger Zone because the bus driver may not be able to see children there.
Wishing everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights a joyous and prosperous day. May your home be filled with the warmth of love, the sparkle of joy, and the light of hope.
Shubh Deepawali! 🙏

Please drop a quick "thank you" to your school custodians and cleaners today.
