Jaguar Families
I hope everyone has had a relaxing spring break so far and you are looking forward to the weekend. A reminder that we are back in school on Monday, April 13 and we are excited to have all of our Jaguars back. Hopefully everyone is staying healthy, as well, over the break.
I have a few things below for 8th graders in particular, as well as the link to the family Panorama survey for all families to complete any time from now to May 1, 2026.
If you need anything or have questions, please contact us.
Respectfully,
Ashby Johnson, Principal
