MOVING OVER THE HOLIDAYS?
Holiday time is a popular time for families to move to other areas. If you
are planning to move over the holidays, please let the office know ahead of
time so that we can prepare a withdrawal form and make sure your child’s
records are in order. If you have any questions, please call us at 878-
