Daily Announcements

School Hours:

Doors open at 7:30am.

Classes start at 7:45 am and dismisses at 3:15pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Students are dismissed at 2:00pm every Wednesday for early release.

Students must be in their classroom by 7:45am to avoid being tardy. If you are late, you need to sign in at the office and get a pass before going to class.

• Fact: In the classroom, students benefit from hands-on activities and meaningful interactions that cannot be replaced by make-up work.

...several bananas connected together is called a "hand"? And a single banana is a "finger"! More than five "fingers" is called a bunch! On a banana plant (which isn’t a tree, but a large herbaceous plant), bananas grow in a formation called a "bunch." Each bunch contains multiple "hands," and each hand consists of a line of bananas referred to as "fingers."

So, that cluster of bananas you buy at the store? Technically, it’s a hand. A full bunch—what grows on a single stem in banana plantations—can weigh up to 110 lb (50 kg) and contain several hands.

There is a sign up sheet in the office for anyone who may be interested in joining the Cheer Team! Come on in and sign up!
