Lost and Found

Please help us keep track of your child’s belongings by labeling everything they bring to school—especially jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, and backpacks! When items go missing, clear labels make it easy for us to return them to their rightful owners.

Our Lost & Found is located in the kindergarten hallway, just past the double doors on the left. Please encourage your child to check it regularly, and feel free to take a peek yourself if you come join them for lunch! To keep the area tidy, unclaimed items will be donated at the end of each month.
