Our final home varsity football game of the regular season is next Friday, November 7, against MacArthur. Please be reminded that students are required to bring their student IDs, and all students in pre-K through 8th grade must be accompanied by and seated with an adult at all times.
School events are ramping up with fall festivals, book fairs, band and choir concerts, and more—we appreciate your attendance and support for our students and staff.
