Weekly Update

April 3-7, 2023

A Message From the Principal

We have completed week 1 of State Assessments! We have a few makeups to do but all in all week 1 went great! Next week we will do Math State Assessments. Reminders to have your child make sure their iPads are fully charged, they get a good nights sleep and eat a good breakfast in the morning.

I also wanted you to give you a heads up on a TikTok challenge that is going around where you hold your breath until you pass out. Please talk to your child about the dangers of participating in this challenge they could fall and get injured or cause other body systems to be compromised.

When coming to pick up your students after school please do not park or wait behind any vans in the parking lot. There are two USD 340 vans that are for track practice, the students use those vans to transport their bags, when they coaches are not able to get the vans out after the buses leave it puts them behind schedule for practice. Please pull through the gravel parking lot to pick up your student.
