On Tuesday, October 14th from 6:00 โ€“ 7:00 pm we will be having our annual โ€˜Dads and Kidsโ€™ Pizza Night at our school. You will meet here at the school cafeteria at 6:00 pm for FREE pizza and drinks. At 6:30 we will have a presentation about our WATCH D.O.G.S.ยฎ (Dads Of Great Students) Program. WATCH D.O.G.S.ยฎ is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their studentโ€™s life. Our goal is to have you spend at least one day this year at the school to be a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eyes and ears.


Dads, granddads, uncles, step-dads and adult brothers . . . this is your chance to have a night out alone with your student in a fun atmosphere at school.


A permission slip went home with each student on Friday so please make sure you send it back to school so we have a head count for the pizza and drinks.

Thank you!

Health Update from Nurse McFadden Health Update from Nurse McFadden

Please be reminded:

- Students are not permitted to bring medication of any kind to school with them. If they need medication, a medication administration order must be filled out by the Dr. and the medication can be kept at school for your student.

- If your student has any kind of chronic condition, please have your Dr. fill out a form that may help attendance if absences are related to the chronic condition, but a form needs to be on file, if so.

- If your student has been to a Dr. and will need any type of assistive device at school such as crutches, walking boot, etc. there needs to be a Dr. note confirming the need for the device. This requirement is for PE and the nurse's office. A note would also be needed to cease the use of the assistive device.


Thank you!
