Clothing Closet

We partner with UniCycle and will gladly take new or gently used SSA and other clothing items (coats, sweaters, socks, leggings, etc. — we also take underwear but request all underwear be new) for our clothing closet or to share with clothing closets at other schools. All sizes are accepted.

Family Workshops

Workshops on a variety of academic topics take place approximately one time per month.

The Pyramid Model provides the foundation for our approach to Social and Emotional Learning, and their website offers a number of Social and Emotional resources. Our school counselor, Gwen Burns, can assist you with questions and concerns about Social and Emotional Learning or about your child's social and emotional development.
