Parking Reminders:
Recently, there have been several cars in the parking lot prior to 8:45 am. Please do not enter the parking lot in the morning until after 8:45 am, so that staff are able to park and get into school. Please line up at Legion Hall.
When lining up at Legion Hall, please form two lines.
When in the parking lot, please pull all the way up to the first set of orange cones.

Notes from the Nurse:
About Me:
My name is Lorinda Dishington Ortiz. The kids call me “Ms. Ortiz.” I’ve been a nurse since 1994, and being the Boutwell School Nurse is my favorite job ever! Outside of work, I love being a “fur mom” to my two Great Pyrenees dogs, Luki and Aurora, and my house rabbit, Bella. I also enjoy traveling, photography, cooking, and anything with glitter!
