Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope you and your family had a wonderful and refreshing Spring Break! As we return, we are entering an exciting and important time of the school year.

Our focus remains on helping every student finish strong. Teachers are working hard to provide meaningful instruction and ensure that all student progress is reflected accurately. We ask for your continued support in encouraging your child to stay focused, give their best effort, and finish the year on a high note.

6th Grade students will soon begin their LEAP testing, and we are confident they will rise to the challenge! Your encouragement at home—making sure they are well-rested, on time, and ready to learn—makes a big difference.

Thank you for being such a vital part of our school community. Together, we will make these last weeks of school some of the most successful yet!

We are proud of our students and excited to see all they will accomplish!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Comeaux, Principal

We are so excited to continue to offer this wonderful technological tool to all of our students. Students will be issued a daily use Chromebook to complete activities; however, Chromebooks will remain on campus unless a need arises for remote learning.

Students must be in their homeroom no later than 7:23 to receive their Chromebooks in homeroom. Any student arriving after this time will not be allowed to go to homeroom to pick up their Chromebook (so as to not disturb that class). We appreciate your efforts in having students arrive at school on time.

Parents,

Due to safety issues, the drop-off and pick-up area is in the back of the school by the stadium. Please do not drop off or pick up students in front of the school.

Thank you for your cooperation.
