Hall-Walking Information
Walking in the school is a great option when the weather is cold and the sidewalks are slippery!
When can you walk?
On School Days - Monday through Friday. Enter door 7 - 6:00-7:15 am & 5:30-9:00 pm
A few things to keep in mind:
*If you walk in the morning, the halls start to get busy around 7:15 a.m.
*No School = No Walking*
Please avoid walking in the Elementary School when there is an athletic event in the Elementary Gymnasium.
Our preschool is designed to help prepare children for kindergarten in a play-based environment. Preschoolers work on fine motor skills, listening skills, social skills, and conflict resolution. We also help children learn to take care of their own basic needs.
