Happy start of Fall, Jackrabbits!
We are officially in the last week of our first nine-weeks. With only one more week until the intersession break our team is diligently preparing to offer our scholars the opportunities for smaller group interventions and instructional acceleration not to mention additional time for possible loss of credit make-ups and English as a Second Language (ESL) Academy.
Please ask your child or look in backpacks for parent permission slips for the week of Oct. 2nd through the 5th. Lunch will be provided to those in attendance. Attendance incentives will be awarded daily during these four days. Check with your child's teacher for more information.
Transportation will also be available for those who qualify for services. Our transportation department will be providing their bus route schedule prior to Intersession. At that time, the routes will be shared out.
Fall Intersession Break: Oct. 2nd - 13th. Staff Development Oct. 16th, No school for scholars.
Provided below is our district and campus policy that must be enforced on the use of personal cell phones and other devices during the regular school day. We are experiencing more students on their phones while instruction is happening and prior to dismissals. This is a safety and privacy concern. We highly encourage parents and guardians talk to their child to avoid such disruption. Thank you in advance for your continued support!
Science Fair dates; Deadline for campus submissions is Sept. 25th.
Campus Science Fair will be Oct. 20th. Please check with your child's teacher for class timelines. This is mandatory for all scholar/ scientist.
I do asked for your continued support with our cafeteria outstanding charges. We do need your support also with the 249 meal applications needing completion. We are offering incentives for students and grade levels reaching 100%. Know that we are here to support you since collection of both initiatives impact our entire school.
