Child Assistance Resources & Education

If your child is having any trouble either in school or at home, our CARE (Child Assistance Resources & Education) team is here to help. The CARE team consists of a principal, counselors, nurse, school psychologist, mental health specialist, classroom teachers and community agency staff.  The team works to identify issues which pose a barrier to a students’ learning and school success.  If you or someone else notices your student is struggling in an academic, behavior, or social-emotional area of development, you can ask the CARE team to help.  

Teachers, parents and students who observe concerning behavior in a student are encouraged to reach out to a CARE team member and submit a referralReferrals can also be made using this link All referrals are confidential and once one has been made, the team will work together to gather information, consult with the parent and student and make recommendations for additional support. 

Student Pick-Up: Safety First!

Now that we are in full swing of after school clubs and sports we see an increase in traffic at after school pick up time. Please be mindful of your student's club dismissal time and if you arrive early for pickup try and utilize parking spaces. If waiting in car line please pull up as far as possible allowing traffic to flow behind you. Also watch for kids in the parking lot as many students walk home after dismissal. We are all in this together, thanks for keeping our kids safe!
