Principal's Message
As the winter season is upon us, I hope this message finds you and your families in good health and warmth. With the colder weather settling in, it's important for us to ensure the well-being and safety of our students. Here are some important reminders and tips:
Dress in Layers:
Encourage your child to dress warmly in layers. Layering helps trap warmth and provides flexibility to adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day. You may want to add your student’s name to any jackets or gloves in case they end up in our “Lost and Found”.
Stay Informed:
Keep an eye on weather forecasts and be aware of any potential severe weather conditions. In the event of inclement weather, we will communicate any school closures or delays through our usual channels.
Hydration:
Remind your child to stay hydrated, even in colder weather. Drinking water is important for overall health and helps regulate body temperature.
Health and Wellness:
If your child is unwell or showing symptoms of illness, please keep them at home until they are well. This helps prevent the spread of illnesses within the school community.
Our priority is the safety and comfort of our students, and your cooperation is vital in achieving this goal. If you have any specific concerns or questions related to cold weather safety, please don't hesitate to reach out to the school office. Let's work together to ensure a safe and enjoyable winter season for everyone.
Stay warm and Go Bears!

Friendly Reminder
- 6th Grade Car Riders are dropped off and picked up in the Gym 1 parking lot.
- 7th and 8th grade Car riders are dropped off and picked up at the front of the school.
- Students can be picked up early until 4:00. Please park in the Gym 1 parking lot to come to the office and check out your student.
- Walkers are dismissed a little later to allow for the car line to decrease and provide a safer walking path to get home.
- Please do not drive through the bus lanes during drop off and pick up times to pick up your students. We want to ensure all of our students are able to safely get to school and get home.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Lost and Found
If your child has misplaced any belongings recently, we encourage you to visit the lost and found area located in the cafeteria. Please remind your child to check for their lost items before Thursday, February 1 after which unclaimed items will be donated to local charities.
