🎒 A Simple Back-to-School Reminder for All Families

Unexpected moments can happen during the school day, from spills and playground messes to weather changes and other accidents. We encourage every student, regardless of age or grade level, to keep a complete change of clothing at school.

Please place the clothing in a labeled bag with your child’s name. Having fresh clothes available helps students feel comfortable, confident, and ready to return to learning as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your help in making sure students are prepared and comfortable throughout the school day. ❤️🐾
