DOWN SYSTEMS

Hi Families!
Today we are moving offices (just across the hall). This means our phone and Internet systems will be intermittent at best. If you do not hear back from our office today please know that we will get to you as soon as we can. We expect to be up and running by the end of the day. We reccomend following up any phone messages with an email as there is a chance our voicemails will not carry over smoothly with the move.

Thank you and we are sorry for any incvonvenience!
