Emergency Supply Kits

Please prepare an emergency kit for your child, and have them bring it with them to the open house, or the first day of school.  The purpose of this kit is to ensure your child has supplies necessary in the event of an emergency (e.g., earthquake, snow-in) which require him/her to remain at school an extended period of time.
