I will work on getting a snack amazon wish list put together. With every student in the Middle School testing we like to make sure that they are fueled with a snack and provided a little treat for encouragement to do their best on their test. This isn't made possible without the donations from all of you and we greatly appreciate all of those donations and I know the students enjoy the treats as well!

8th Grade Job Shadow Experience


We’re looking for parents and community members to help provide a meaningful experience for our 8th graders. On the morning of April 17th, students will participate in a job shadow to explore different careers and workplace environments. If you or someone you know is willing to host a student or a small group of students for a few hours, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/4i8gV1QRFqLjRbweA.

Your support helps inspire our students and shape their futures—thank you!

Parents, I’ll be in touch soon with more details regarding transportation and your students job shadow location. In the meantime, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.



Dress Code Reminder

As the weather warms up and we start wearing lighter clothing, I want to send a reminder of our school’s dress code policy to help ensure that students feel comfortable and confident throughout the day. Please see the dress code guidelines below:

Student clothing needs to be appropriate for the school setting. Appropriate clothing DOES NOT:

1. Present a danger to the physical health or safety of you or others.

2. Promote or imply regulated items such as alcohol or tobacco.

3. Display or imply obscene or indecent printed messages or symbols.

4. Detract from the teaching/learning process.

A total shirt must be worn. No bare midriffs/half-shirts, fish nets, undershirts or undershirt-type shirts and no sleeveless shirts that are open down the side, front or back may be worn. Undergarments should not be visible.

Students wearing clothing that violates the dress code will be asked to change. A staff member will contact parents to coordinate the process.

Changes Coming Changes Coming

There will be some changes after spring break for drop off and pick up in the morning. Please refer to the diagram and the rules for drop off and pick up.

If you have a High School student who drops their siblings off please make sure they are aware of these changes.
