March Quotes of the Week - In Honor of Arab American Heritage Month

About Arab American Heritage Month

Officially recognized by President Biden in April 2021, Arab Heritage Month is an annual, month-long celebration of the diversity and richness of Arab American identity, culture, and experience.

Quote of the Week

“Everybody starts small. We all begin life as a single cell. Every business starts as one person with an idea. How fast you go, how far you get, is in your hands. The bigger your vision, the bigger your achievement will be. Will you stumble on the way? Perhaps, but we cannot let fear keep us small. We have to be brave to be big.” – Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is an Emirati politician and royal who is the current ruler of Dubai, and serves as the vice president, prime minister, and minister of defense of the United Arab Emirates.

State Testing Continues This Week

It's Time to Show What We Know!

State testing continues this week. Our first set of groups will take their Math test. Students who miss their assigned testing day will be in make-up testing next week.

Every student has been provided their cohort assignment and testing schedule. Please touch base with your student to make sure they are prepared for their test sessions.

Testing is untimed. Please encourage your student to NOT rush. If they don't finish on their assigned day, they will be given additional time to finish.

Amazing Summer Camp Opportunity

Parking Lot and Traffic Safety

Traffic Flow During Pickup/Drop Off

When picking up or dropping off students, please do NOT stop in the outer lane of the drive way. If you need to stop and wait for your student to get in or out, please pull as far up as possible and stop against the inner curb (school side).
We must ask that all families drive safely and carefully while in the school parking lot.

Walking Student Safety

Students should NEVER cross Jackson street except at the cross walks where they are protected by traffic signals.
Please speak to your students if they walk to ensure they always walk to the cross walks.
