After what was probably a busy Friday for many of you, I hope you were able to enjoy the extra hour of sleep and the beautiful fall weather today (Sunday). There is a lot of "noise" in each month of the school year, but the first few weeks in November are often a good time for a quiet reset of routines and rest before the holidays.


I will be at Master Principal Monday through Wednesday, but feel free to email or text if you need to reach me before Thursday. Have a great week!

New Students & School Supply Fee

  • If a new student already bought and brought supplies from previous school, we do not need to charge them our school supply fee. You can supplement out of our supply closet for the few items they might still need. We should charge $5 for ID and lanyard.
  • If a student has no school supplies, we should attempt to collect the fee and distribute our materials.
  • We have made our money back on school supplies, FYI.
  • Please continue to occasionally update the Advisory Tracker (top of Dashboard) as you have new students, including if fee was paid or waived.
