December Testing Schedule


Join us tonight for a fun evening of family activities, an IB scavenger hunt, learning, discovery, and prizes! We look forward to seeing our Buccaneer families there! Discover IB. Explore Together. Have Fun!


We still need parent volunteers!! Shifts are just 45 minutes and will support a staff member at each station. Families will move through stations at their own pace, participate in challenges and collect a stamp and a clue at each stop. All materials will be provided. We just need extra hands to ensure everyone can move through the stations easily.

Help Keep the Flowers & Plants Watered

Please sign up for a shift to help keep the pots by the front entrances of our school looking beautiful and hydrated! It should only take about 15-20 minutes, and you are welcome to come at any time on the day you sign up. There are hoses next to each set of stairs on the far left and far right of front of school. Please make sure you wind the hoses back up after use. Thank you!
