Good Evening Cavalier Families,

Thank you for your incredible support and participation in Random Act of Kindness Week. It was wonderful to see our students leading the way by choosing kindness, compassion, and gratitude each day. We are also deeply grateful for the continued support and kindness you extend to our teachers and staff, who work tirelessly for all students. As we move forward, we are reminded that kindness is not just something we celebrate for one week or encourage only in our children, but something we model as adults everyday. Even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference, and together we can make the world a better place, one kind deed at a time.

Handbook Highlights

ALLERGIES

As a part of the enrollment process, the school nurse will make sure that all student health files are updated and that all students with medically documented allergies have an alert on skyward.

Prior to the start of school, each teacher will receive a notification, from the nurse, that lists all students in their class who have reported allergies.

If a student has a reported allergy, the staff shall take reasonable steps to eliminate exposure to the allergen during the school day.

If a student is inadvertently exposed to an allergen, the teacher and/or staff member shall contact the nurse immediately and follow emergency protocol for allergen exposure.

Kindly review our  Elementary Handbook 2025-2026 for more information on Academics, Activities, Attendance, Code of Conduct, Health, Nutrition, Transportation, Safety & Security.
