THANK YOU PTSO!
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone for your generous donations to our PTSO last year! Because of your support, we were able to make some amazing improvements, including installing brand new basketball backboards! Your contributions have made a lasting impact on our students and our campus, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Here's to more positive changes ahead! Special Thank you to our facilities dept for helping get them installed!
VALENTINE's EXPECTATIONS!
As we approach Valentine's Day, our teachers have noticed and want to bring attention to the potential pressures students may face regarding finding a Valentine or experiencing rejection. This can be uncomfortable, upsetting, or distracting for them. We encourage parents to support their children in understanding how these trends can hurt students feelings. Additionally, please be aware of any group chats that your child may be participating in outside of school, as these can also impact their social interactions and well-being.
Thank you for your attention to these matters.
