A Message from Mrs. Speer
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Title I BINGO Night! We had a tremendous turnout and an absolute blast connecting with so many of our wonderful families over fun, prizes, and food. Your involvement and energy truly make our school community special.
🌟 Celebrating Our September Honorees
Please join us in celebrating two outstanding members of our school family who went above and beyond this past month:
Briseis T: Congratulations to Briseis for being a shining example of respect and friendship in her classroom!
Ms. Rachel Due: Shoutout to Ms. Due for her leadership and support on campus!
Thank you both for making our campus a brighter place! 💙
📅 Important Updates: Fall Break & End of the Grading Period
Please keep the following schedule details in mind as we head into this week:
Short 3-Day Week: Students will be in class Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday only. School will be closed Thursday, Friday, and Monday for Fall Break.
Grading Period Ends Wednesday: The current grading period officially ends on Wednesday.
Attendance is Vital: Because grades are being finalized, attendance during these three days is essential. Being in class ensures students complete key end-of-quarter tasks, take necessary assessments, and turn in any remaining assignments for their report cards.
We hope you all enjoy a safe, restful, and relaxing Fall Break with your loved ones. We look forward to seeing our students refreshed and ready to learn when classes resume on Tuesday, October 13th!
Perfect Attendance = no tardies, early checkouts, or absences (excused or unexcused) unless a doctor's note is provided
