Therapy dogs from Caring Canines have been visiting our school since the spring of 2018.  The Counseling Department coordinates these visits, and they are very popular with our students.  The dogs and their handlers will be visiting our school on March 26th. 

Students must have a parent permission form to present to staff before entering the area where the dogs will be available (using the field if weather permits, or the black box).

Questions?  Contact Erin Ortiz, School Social Worker, [email protected].
