NEW Lost & Found Procedures....

Christie Elementary is making some changes to the way “lost and found” items are managed.  In order to make it easier for students and parents to claim lost items, all clothing items will be displayed in the hallway near the office.  All lost and found items will be donated at the end of each month in order to keep the collection manageable.  Please be sure to drop by and look for your student’s belongings before the end of January!
