Bruce Vento Family Center
The Bruce Vento Family Center is here to build relationship with families and create a bridge between school and home. We are located in room 1302 and are available school days from 9 am to 3 pm. It is our goal to provide families with the opportunities, resources, and connection to school supporting a bright future for every child. We hope to be a home for families at school and create a partnership.
Families are welcome to visit anytime, we look forward to meeting you!
