Tours

Tours dates are yet to be determined for the 2022-2023 school year. 

We are very happy to open up our school to prospective families for school tours.  Our tour will be slightly different than in the past due to COVID protocols, but we expect visitors to still get a good sense of our building environment, programs, and school culture.  The tour will consist of a brief meeting, and then a walk through the hallways where visitors can look into classrooms. The group will assemble at the lobby area on Gates Ave and begin walking by 9:15am.  The tour should run about 30 minutes.  At this time, we will not allow entry into classrooms in order to ensure safety.  Visitors must sign up as we have to be mindful of large groups so we are keeping the tour group small.  Our tours will conclude with a Q&A session with Principal Grande.  The tours are open to incoming Pre-K, Kindergarten, or upper grades, as we will walk the entire building.  We look forward to seeing you there!
