Hello FamiLEE,

Thank you for your support this year. It was great seeing so many families at Open House. Please continue to monitor your child's grades to assist with them staying on track this year.

Next week is rivalry week. We are excited to dress up and celebrate each day. Come out and support all of over athletic events this week.

If you have questions, concerns, or need to discuss something with me, please email me or call the school and speak with Ms. Smartt, administrative assistant.

If you need to send in absence excuses, please email lee.attendance@hsv-k12.org.

I appreciate you all,

Kitrise Torain
