Dear Parents & Families – 

Communication is key to a successful school program.  Announcement are sent out by email and text message.  Please make sure we have your current information on file.  Call Ms. Bialkowski, school clerk, if you need to confirm or update your information.  Her phone number is 716-816-3250. 

Parent appointments for school visits and teacher conferences can be made by contacting me, Principal Vitale, at 716-816-3250.
