Back to School Night is Wednesday, September 3rd from 5pm to 7pm. On this date, we will be sponsoring the first 20 parents for FREE fingerprinting to ensure you're cleared to volunteer for field trips, school events and more.

Students will receive this schedule on Wednesday on a green half sheet of paper at the end of the day. They should fill it out and provide it to you for Wednesday's event.

This upcoming week, students will continue MAP testing in their Math classes. These assessments help us identify each student’s strengths and areas for growth, so we can better support their academic success throughout the year.
To help your child do their best, please keep the following in mind:

• Make sure they get a good night’s sleep before testing days.
• Encourage them to eat a healthy breakfast—students can also grab breakfast from the cafeteria before school starts.
• Remind them to bring their Chromebooks fully charged each day.

We appreciate your support in encouraging your child to take these tests seriously and give their best effort. These results are a valuable tool for us—and for them—as we work together toward a great school year.
