BLUE FLASHING LIGHTS MEAN STAY AWAY
When our schools are involved in a safety drill or safety procedure, the blue strobe light at the front of a school building flashes on and off. That is a signal to parents and visitors to stay away from the school building. Please watch this video for more information. KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
