Gator Run Friday Focus - August 26, 2016

This has been an amazing first week of school.  Thank you for all that you do for our students.  We need your assistance at dismissal time in the front office.  Please be aware that from 2:00 - 2:30 our office staff is answering phones and responding to dismissal concerns on the walkie talkies.  We need to make sure that the office is as quiet as possible during this time.

• Open House next week: PK-2 on Tuesday and 3-5 on Wednesday, both at 6:30 PM.
