We have a staff & community Wellness Committee that meets regularly throughout the year. Our goals this year are Physical Education and Activity and Nutrition. We are using the School Health Index to guide our work.

We use the Alert Now messaging system, which allows us to communicate with parents and staff. Messages about snow days and other events are sent out via telephone and email to over 2,000 contacts simultaneously.

Several of our students have allergies to a variety of substances. In some cases, the allergies are life threatening. We strive  to protect all of our children and because of this, we do our best to be a nut free school. Information you may not know:    

• >some children can be allergic to peanuts and/or tree nuts and therefore any products made with these ingredients, such as shea butter in lotions?
