Principal's Message
Happy Friday! Lots going on in the coming weeks, so please be sure to read our Mighty Roar all the way through. We have lots of events, and procedures to start wrapping up the year. And it all starts next week with concerts and laptop collection.
Every laptop will be collected on Wednesday, May 13th. We will be collecting all district issued devices through our Science classes in the library. Please be sure to remove all stickers and find those power adapters/chargers. I don’t want anyone to be charged unnecessary fees.
We have extended our 8th grade Main Event Celebration (May 21st) payment deadline to next Friday, May 16th. Permission slips will go home on Monday through History classes. A student must have a parent signed permission slip and have paid $20 to attend the event. Payment may be made HERE. Further details have been sent to our 8th grade families directly. Additional information regarding the day of details will also be sent late next week.
Congratulations to all the parents with college graduates this weekend! It is a HUGE accomplishment, and congrats to your sweet babies (that aren’t babies anymore)!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there! 💐
