Welcome Back!

It was so great to see everyone back at school today. I hope that everyone enjoyed a fun and relaxing break. This week we are excited for our 2nd - 5th concert at Seaholm High School. We hope to see you all there Wednesday night. Details are included below.

These weeks between mid-winter break and spring break are filled with lots of fun activities including March is Reading Month. Information will be coming home this week, with details on all of the events and activities. On Friday, we will be sharing sign up information for spring parent teacher conferences, please be on the lookout for that information.

As we come back from the break we ask that you help ensure the safety of all of our students by following our drop-off and pick-up guidelines. If you utilizing the car lane please pull along the curb in the main parking lot, let your child(ren) out between the flagpole and the Main Entrance. When picking up, please pull as far forward as possible. If you are walking your child up, please use a designated crosswalk and walk with your student.

Looking forward to seeing many of you Wednesday!
