Valentine’s Day Information
With Valentine’s Day falling on Saturday, February 14, students are welcome to bring Valentine’s cards to school on Wednesday, February 11 to share with classmates. We kindly ask that families do not send candy, treats, or any food items - cards only, please. Thank you for helping us keep this a safe, inclusive, and allergy-aware celebration for all students.
Please see your child’s teacher’s Instagram account for specific information.
