We have heard from a few families that would prefer a hard copy of the handbook and have put in the order to the printer. We will let you know as soon as they arrive. The handbook is always available on our website. If you have not sent back your signoff page that you have read the handbook, please send in as soon as possible. If you need a new signoff sheet, please call the office and we will send a new one home.
