School Information
STRANGER DANGER INCIDENT!
I was notified by a parent of an incident that occurred Friday afternoon regarding an older man that pulled over & offered candy to a couple of our students near Purple, as they walked home from school. Gratefully, they said no and ran before anything bad happened. The police were notified and they promised to do their due diligence. We are asking you to please speak with your student regarding being safe and walking with a friend or group of friends if they walk home. We will have all our teachers at school reeducate our students on Monday regarding stranger danger. But, as always, please keep open communication with your students regarding what to do in this type of situation.

Chinese DLI Lottery Information
Chinese 1st grade students that applied for acceptance for next school year should have received notification last Friday, via email. For those who were accepted, the commitment letter needs to be returned, in person, to our office no later than Friday Feb 17th at 3:00. Please let us know if you have any questions.
