We kindly remind all families that dismissal is at 3:48 PM each day. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in late pickups, and we want to ensure all students remain safe and supervised. We do not have staff available to supervise students after dismissal unless they are enrolled in Logan’s aftercare program. Thank you for helping us keep dismissal smooth and safe for all students!

We are looking for all types of books (picture books, novels, informational books, etc) that will interest a range of ages and interests. Please only send children’s books. We will have boxes outside the main office area to collect donations. Thanks in advance!
