Breakfast will be served from 7:30 - 7:55 AM. Students who eat breakfast will meet with their class outside at the designated areas. It is imperative that parents please make the necessary arrangements to ensure that their child (ren) is on time and promptly picked up at the end of the day if they are not enrolled in afterschool.

School Leadership Teams (SLTs) are vehicles for developing school-based educational policies, and ensuring that resources are aligned to implement those policies. SLTs assist in the evaluation and assessment of a school's educational programs and their effects on student achievement.
