Our school will once again use the web app PickUp Patrol to communicate attendance and dismissal plans.  Families will receive a welcome email from PickUp Patrol.  Please activate your account and add your student default dismissal plan.  Any changes to the dismissal plan, like an absence or early pickup, can be communicated using this site.  

Volunteers

We love and appreciate our Superstar Volunteers!  To volunteer in our building, at school events, field trips, or even escort your child to class, complete the background check and training with the district.  All previous volunteer approvals have been reset; don’t wait to submit your application.  

PTSO

A great way to get involved and connect with your child’s school is to participate in the parent group, PTSO.  Visit the PTSO webpage for information about upcoming meetings and opportunities.  Email jmeptso@gmail.com with your questions.
