School Three is very fortunate to have an involved and supportive Home and School Association (H.S.A.).The Home and School Association provides new students with a School 3 shirt and all students receive an agenda book at the start of the school year. The H.S.A .plays a critical role in organizing and promoting activities such as a Trunk or Treat, Book Fairs, Tricky Trays, etc. The H.S.A. financially supports assemblies and field trips. It is because of the joint efforts of home and school that children have an enriched experience at School Three.

School Three is committed to providing outstanding education to all of our students. It is through the many fine programs, varied curricula, and educational experiences that students are prepared to become independent thinkers, good decision-makers, self-supporting, and productive citizens in today’s society.
