Security Reminders
Our students have done a great job adjusting to our new security screening process. Thank you for your support during the transition.
Please remember that it is our policy that if you come into the building, you will go the screening machines. Anyone entering the building will need to have a physical copy of their driver's license in order to do so. Please do not attempt to enter the building from the rear parking lot. Visitors will only be admitted through the front doors.

Attendance Updates
Our school wide goal for attendance is 98% present each and every school day. Every day counts! Please plan appointments early enough that your student can be checked in by 11:30 or later in the day so that they can be in school until at least 11:30 in order to avoid being counted absent. Please remember, everyday counts!
Was your student absent? Do they need an excuse?
Form attendance excuses were sent home last week for you to use if your child is absent and needs a parent excuse. A blank copy is attached below. You do not have to use this excuse, but we hopes it makes providing excuses a little easier! Blank copies are also kept at the front office and you can fill them out when you come to drop your child off late or pick your child up early.
Middle School Shirts Are On Sale Now!
Order forms for middle school t-shirts came home with report cards. 6th grade is represented by black, 7th by green, and 8th by orange. The cost is $8 per shirt. Please send in your money and order forms if you'd like to order! We will wear these on designated days of the week throughout the school year.
