Parents (PLEASE READ):

Regarding SB181, if you fill out a waiver for your student, BY LAW, you MUST fill out an individual form for each child, and for each designated employee or volunteer, who is not an approved family member.

You MAY NOT put more than one employee or volunteer on the form and you MAY NOT put more than one student on the form.

If mom/dad has 3 students, and they want three employees/volunteers waived for all three students, then mom/dad has to fill out the same form 9 times, one for each student and employee/volunteer!

Please understand we completely sympathize with you, however, we are required to do this due to how the law is written

📚 Summer Reading Camp: A Splashing Success! 💦 Our Summer Reading Camp wrapped up today with a splash! Students showed impressive growth—ranging from 20% to 60%—on their reading assessments. They engaged daily in hands-on centers, sensory breaks, literacy circles, and games. Earning compliments led to the exciting opportunity to soak their favorite teacher, adding a fun twist to their achievements. We're incredibly proud of their hard work and the joy they brought to the camp. It was a summer filled with learning, laughter, and lasting memories!
