This week was our first week implementing the Open Gate security measures and it went great! Thank you for your patience and for encouraging your students to be prepared to follow the procedures as they enter the building. As a reminder, all visitors will be asked to complete the screening process each time they enter the building. We will continue regular screening procedures with our students going forward. Thank you again for your support!

1. We will wear our House Shirts every Thursday!
2. We are working on a House Night for all parents- stay tuned for dates and information!
3. We are also working on a House Swag order! More information coming soon!

Visit the middle school minute for updates specific to middle school students from your teachers.

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.

Our attendance dropped over the past few weeks. Remember, every day counts!

Way to go 3rd and 7th grade for being our attendance leaders again this past week!

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.

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.

I'm working on elementary showcasing in their strings class December 'Recital for Visitors' days. Elementary strings are preparing to play casual class concerts for their parents who come. Elementary homeroom teachers will post in their newsletters, which day for 'Recital for Visitors to Strings:) Either the week of Dec9-13 OR Dec. 15-19.
