This is a reminder that our regular office hours on Mondays and Thursdays from 6:30-9:00 p.m. We have heard that a few parents have tried to drop off some of their paperwork outside those hours and found we were not around.

Also a friendly reminder for those that have not yet finished their enrollment paperwork or the personal information verification forms to get those in ASAP.
