PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
As we approach the final weeks before winter break, we want to remind everyone of the importance of staying engaged and making the most of this time!
Attendance Matters
Attendance is key to student success, especially as we wrap up the second grading period, which ends on Friday, December 20th. Every day counts, and being present ensures that students stay on track academically and finish strong. Let’s make these next two weeks successful!
Upcoming Events
The next two weeks are packed with exciting fine arts and athletics events that showcase the incredible talents of our students. Whether it’s cheering at a game or enjoying a performance, we hope you’ll join us in supporting our students. Check our website or contact the front office for event details.
Picture Make-Up Day
Did your student miss Picture Day? No worries! Picture Make-Up Day is this Monday, December 9th. Be sure your student is ready to capture their best smile for the yearbook.
Finish Strong
We are so proud of the effort our students have shown this semester. Let’s encourage them to stay focused, attend every class, and take advantage of opportunities to shine, both in the classroom and beyond.
Thank you for your partnership and support as we work together to help all of our students succeed. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see everyone back on Monday!
Do Not Enter
Please be aware that the new Do Not Enter signs have been installed and will be enforced. They are located at the exit of the parent drop off lane.
For the safety of all staff, faculty, students and visitors, please do not enter through that area. It is an exit only.
Thank you for your support on this safety issue!
