Teacher's Corner

Just a note on the Halloween parade this year. Parents are invited to the parade behind South Mountain School, followed by a party inside the classroom. Children may NOT wear costumes to school, please send them in and teachers will help kids get dressed before the parade. Children will be dismissed from classrooms at the end of school.
