Welcome to our web site. Our goal is to provide families with an access
to health information. You will find policies regarding medications,
absences, and immunizations. We will also be providing some updated health
information as often as we are able. We hope you will find this site to be a
helpful resource.
Healthy Children are Learners. The primary function of the certified school
