Bagels and Locks Change
The 7th grade will kick off the year with our Bagels and Locks Event tomorrow, September 4th. The event will begin at 10:00am and conclude at 12:00pm. Students will receive their locks and be given a brief tutorial on how to use them. The PTO will be providing bagels.
Kindly review our District Uniform Policy, included in this newsletter, as we will be diligently following the dress code this year.
Punctuality and attendance are crucial for future success, and we will be closely monitoring student tardiness as well.
PARENTS OF INCOMING 6TH GRADE STUDENTS SHOULD READ THE NURSE'S CORNER SECTION PLEASE.
