Welcome to Helen Keller School
Principal's Message
Brrr, February! It is hard to believe the school year is already half over.
Please remember to dress your child with warm clothes. They do go outside if the temperature is above 20°. Also, please remember at 7:50 a.m. the horse goes up on the blacktop which is a reminder that you may not drop off your child in the back of the building. Please pull around to the front of the building and drop you child off there. At the end of the day when you pick your child up, please do not park in the bus lane in the front of the building. You may park on Everdon Avenue or in a parking spot in the lot. Thank you for your understanding. We want to keep your children safe at all times.
