Please see the attached letter from Mr. Lee

This is the last week of 3rd quarter. If your student is missing any assignments, please encourage them to complete anything they can to improve their grades. I hope everyone has a great spring break and we'll see you in April!

6th grade ELA students completed their technology unit by creating and presenting their own original tech gadgets. The level of innovation and creativity they showcased was outstanding!

Quarter 3 report cards will only be available digitally through PowerSchool. There will be no paper copies sent home. Report cards will be available for viewing for parents in their Parent Portal accounts at the beginning of April.
