Dear Parents,

Please remember to put your child’s name on their jackets, water bottles, and lunch boxes.  If they leave it out on the playground, it is much easier to identify who it belongs to and get it back to them.  Our lost and found always has a lot of quality items and many of those items don’t seem to be claimed.  Remind your student to check lost and found if they have lost something.  It is located in the cafeteria and sometimes items are spread out on the steps so students can look as they walk by on their way to lunch.
