Awesome First Week of School
What a great first week of school! We are so proud of our Tribe Family for keeping the main thing, the main thing. What a joy it is to see all of the students exemplifying our TRIBE CORE VALUES and living our campus commitment to:
- Work Hard
- Be Nice
- Have Fun
- Stay Positive
Parents, thank you for your patience and commitment to safety during our first week drop-off and pick-up! We will continue to refine our processes to ensure efficiency without sacrificing safety. I know we have already started school and most students know the building layout, but you are all welcome to come visit on Monday evening for our open house. Because this date was chosen last spring, we do have some conflicts with athletics and a few staff members. 8th Grade families are encouraged to meet your teacher beginning at 5:30pm while our 7th grade families are attending a meeting. Pack your patience as our hallways are small! We will certainly continue to evaluate this process and have a better plan next year! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! One Tribe Rises!
