Cardinal Call

It sure feels like winter has arrived, and it has coincided perfectly with the start of the winter athletics season. Good luck to all our students that will be going out for winter athletics and activities. Last week marked the end of quarter one and our mid-semester summary period. On Wednesday quarter one grades will be posted to the parent portal on Infinite Campus. Finally, in honor of Veteran's Day on Tuesday, we would like to thank our families and caregivers that serve in the armed services. Let's have a great week!

Sincerely,

Jim Ertel

Principal
