Please send students to school on Tuesday, May 31 with appropriate clothing for their activity (athletic shoes, sunscreen, etc) and send students with a sack lunch. Students who need/want school lunch will get a sack lunch from the school cafeteria. Please note: you might not receive a ‘field trip permission slip’ so please talk to your child about their activity.
