A big thank you to our community for helping to honor Ms. Veronica this week. We have the best school secretary ever and she deserves to be celebrated!
It's hard to believe that May begins this week! There are so many fun events this month. It will be busy but make sure to take time to enjoy it. As a parent of a high school senior, it really does go SO fast! Below is the link for information regarding next year's classroom placements. It will be open for two weeks. While we don't take teacher requests, we do want to hear your voice as we get ready for next year.
It's that time of year! Please read this letter regarding classroom placements for this year. After reading the letter, please fill out this form. The form will close May 10th. We appreciate your input!
Run Club students walk every Wednesday morning before school. Each Run Club morning is weather dependent, of course. If it is raining, or the weather is unsafe for runners to participate, that day's Run Club will be cancelled. Proper cold weather attire is recommended on days it is chilly. The course is the track located behind our school. Start time is 8:00 AM sharp. We will be on the track until the school doors open. Students will track their mileage each day they participate.

School Safety
All doors are locked during the school day. If you come to school, you will be buzzed into the foyer area and office and then asked to show identification before your child is released. All visitors/volunteers in the building must report and sign in at the office. Visitors must wear a badge in the school building. All volunteers in the classroom and for field trips must have a background check on file each year. Just a reminder that if you have a felony conviction you may not volunteer in the classroom or on field trips.
