April is Autism Awareness Month
As we step into April, we embark on a month dedicated to understanding, acceptance, and celebration of neurodiversity. Autism Awareness Month is an opportunity for us to come together as a community and recognize the unique strengths and perspectives that individuals on the autism spectrum bring to our lives.
Throughout this month, we will be engaging in various activities and discussions to raise awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and promote acceptance and understanding among our students, staff, and families. These activities may include classroom discussions, special projects, and educational resources to help deepen our understanding of autism and celebrate the unique talents of individuals on the spectrum.
We encourage all families to join us in this journey of awareness and acceptance. Together, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate community where every individual feels valued and respected for who they are.
We will kick off autism awareness month with a week of spirit days. Please take a look at the flyer in the News and Announcements section below.

REMINDERS: Morning Drop Off and Afternoon Pick Up
Please remember that if you are dropping your students off in the morning, even if your student missed the bus, please use the parent pickup and drop off lines. We have noticed an influx of parents pulling into the parking lot and dropping off between buses. This is not a designated drop off zone. Please do not drop off students in the parking lot. You must use the drop off lane when arriving between 8:45 and 9am. If and when the gate closes, please be sure to pull up as far as you can to our main entrance. Please ensure that staff is available to escort your student into the building if arriving on time, otherwise you must escort your students into our building whenever dropping off after 9am.
We also ask that you take time to review our dismissal protocol as well. We expect that all parents picking up students at the end of the day, wait in our car pickup lane and your student will be dismissed to you in our designated pickup area. If you have made changes to your normal dismissal plan, please be sure to send this change in writing in a timely manner. This can be a handwritten note or email to your child’s teacher as well as the office. Please avoid dismissing your students between 2:50 and 3:00pm as this is the busiest time and is the time bus traffic begins on our campus. We want to ensure your safety and the safety of your child while entering and exiting the main entrance.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Nichols, Principal
Mrs. Dalessio, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Emard, Assistant Principal
