8th grade trip to Savannah

Today (December 15) is the deadline to secure your place. Register online and submit your 'hold my space' payment of $50 to participate. The trip departs on Wednesday, May 4 and will return on Friday, May 6. Please view the flyer for trip details.

Chorus and band performance (outdoor)

The chorus and the 7th and 8th grade bands will be performing in the Upper Campus parking lot this Thursday at 4:30pm. Join us for some festive tunes. Seating will not be provided, but folding chairs and blankets are encouraged.

Chromebooks and chargers to be stored on campus over winter break

Middle school students should bring in their Chromebook and charger to be stored on the cart during the winter break.

Looking ahead to the new year, Kindergarten to 5th grade students will be celebrating Read Across America Day on March 2, 2022. Students will have the opportunity to choose a book that represents their culture or family history. The students can choose to dress up as a person from that book and if able, donate a copy of the book to their classroom library. We hope to add to current classroom libraries so they can be even more robust and reflective of our diverse community. Reading diverse and inclusive books in the months to come might help your student find a book that has people with whom they identify. You might even find one here on Read Across America's December booklist. Looking for even more diverse books? Click here.

Vaccination survey

As we continue to adapt to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic landscape, we would like to determine how many of our students are fully vaccinated. This will allow us to determine which students may not have to quarantine if they are exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, understanding the vaccination coverage in our community will help us to make informed decisions about sporting events and meal time locations for spring semester. To learn more and to notify us, click here.
