INDOOR DISMISSAL

On certain days we may need to dismiss students from their classrooms. The most common reason is when we are experiencing extreme weather or rain. 

If the temperature drops below 40 degrees, or rises above 95 degrees, or it is raining, we will suspend outdoor activities including blacktop dismissal and dismiss from inside the classrooms. 

The volunteer application process will reopen on January 3, 2024. The deadline to apply is February 29, 2024.
