Week of August 24, 2026
Dear Mustang Families,
Thank you to all who were able to join us last week for the Pod Parties! We hope you enjoyed getting to meet your child's teachers, their friends, and their families! And a HUGE thank you to all the parents who made it possible!!!
This week, you are invited to join us on Tuesday evening for a PTO meeting at 5:30 and Curriculum Night at 6:00. Curriculum Night is an opportunity to learn more about the middle school experience, academic expectations, and what your child will be learning in their pod this year.
Go Mustangs!!!
Thank You to Our Sponsors for the 2026-27 School Year
Girls on the Run
Bubble Run
We are trying something new for our annual fundraiser this year, and it will be a "Bubble Run" instead of a "Color Run." ALL students will receive a free t-shirt, and we would like to get them to be the correct size for your child. Please fill this out for your kiddo! Deadline is August 31.

Car Riders
Carline information can be found here. AM carline starts at 7:10 in the front and approximately 7:20 in the back (after buses have cleared). PM carline is front only. At 2:30, we will go to a double line to be able to load more cars at a time (Students will be dismissed at 3:00, but we have to scan ID barcodes prior to dismissal). This means that it is almost impossible to get into the parking lot to check out after 2:30, so please complete all check outs before 2:30. This will make your life a lot easier!!!
Breakfast & Lunch
This year, EVERY student will again receive one FREE breakfast everyday! All they have to do is go through the cafe line and enter their lunch code and it is free!
For lunch to be free or reduced, each family MUST fill out the meal form. This is the link to apply for free/reduced meals: https://www.myschoolapps.com/
And lastly, to add money to your student's meals account: www.MySchoolBucks.com
Reminder - if you bring your child lunch, you can only bring it for your child. Due to allergies and other concerns, we do not allow drop off meals for children from other families.
