Dear Families,
It was so fun to see all of our students and families in their costumes on Halloween last week! Thank you for your support in our school events.
Career Day
Career day will be on Tuesday, November 21st at 8:45 – 10:00 a.m. We are asking for volunteers to speak about their careers, so come share your expertise and awesome experiences with our students! Click the link for more information and to sign-up.
Thanks for your support. We look forward to seeing you there!
Emergency Drill
On November 13th we will be practicing another emergency drill. This one is called Bomb Threat. In this drill, we practice evacuating students to get them the furthest away from the threat. School will not continue as usual during this time, as we will stop class times to perform the drill. Classes will resume as normal after the drill is complete and we receive an all clear.
Help Wanted
We are short sweepers in several of our schools. If your child would like to be considered for hire and would like to apply, here is the information needed:
