Greetings Jackrabbits,

This week promises to be another productive and busy week with fall Parent Teacher Conferences happening Tuesday, Oct. 24th. Our teacher lead conferences will work best with time slotted appointments. Please keep in constant communication with your child's teacher. Keep in mind that we will continue to send home progress reports and report cards for your convenience. Please sign these and return back to the student's teacher. Daily grades can also be viewed on Skyward parent portal.

Friday brings us to our second annual Fall Festival taking place on the 27th. This year we will be using cash money for all booths. No worries about having to purchase tickets. We are looking forward to seeing you here. We will have our traditional Hunted House which will require a parent permission on site. Students will be asked to sign a waiver since it may be scary for some.

Federal Impact Aid forms have been sent with students identified by our district as active duty dependents or connected to civilians on federal properties such as Border Patrol, DoD Contractor, etc. We do ask to complete this form and return by Friday, Oct. 25th. Thank you in advance!

A friendly reminder that we have designated parking spaces for parents/ visitors and faculty and staff. I do ask for your support in parking only in the parent side. There is plenty of parking for everyone. We keep constant circulation on this side to make it accessible and convenient for all.
