 Signing up to receive text messages from us is completely OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED. You will continue to receive our emails as usual, and we will also continue posting announcements, documents, etc. on our website, which will remain our main source of information. However, for those that decide to sign up, Remind will be another method of quickly communicating information and reminders regarding our program.

Instructions on how to sign up to receive text messages from us were sent to the parents by email. Once again, this is completely optional. After the year is over, we will remove all the subscribers from the Remind system. If you have any questions, please contact the office. Thank you, and God bless you. |
