Early Childhood and Special Services

Each month, our Bulldog family comes together to honor the life of Chase Beaty, whose kindness, laughter, and bright spirit continue to inspire us all. On Friday, September 12th, we’ll carry on this special tradition.

Bring $1 and wear your favorite hat in remembrance of Chase. All proceeds go to the Chase Beaty Memorial Scholarship, helping keep his legacy alive and supporting future students in reaching their dreams.

Thank you for standing with us to celebrate Chase’s life and the impact he will always have on our community. 💙💛

🚗 Drop-off & Pick-up Reminders 🚗

Upstairs : Please only drop off/ pick up using the cones (by the flagpole and the sign on the north end of the sidewalk). For safety, avoid dropping off in the gravel, we don’t want anyone slipping or getting hurt.

Downstairs: Pull up to the retaining wall for drop-off.

We also ask that students walk in on their own. Our staff is happy to help them to and from your car, this keeps the line moving smoothly, especially as the weather gets colder.

Thanks for helping us keep everyone safe and things running quickly!❤️
