UNACCOUNTED FOR ITEMS Our Lost and Found grows very quickly throughout the school year. Found items are frequently posted on our school feed on ClassDojo. Please make sure you contact your child’s teacher if something is missing so that your child can have the opportunity to look in our Lost and Found. Please consider being proactive by writing your child’s name on jackets, lunchboxes, and any other belongings that may get left behind during transitions. At the end of each marking period, clothing that is not claimed is donated to a local charity.
