Tuesday Notices

It's week two of the 23-24 school year! Fall sports are off and running (pun fully intended) and we're looking forward to cooler days this week! Our students weathered the heat (pun also intended) and had a successful second week. The construction to the school grounds and the siding should be wrapping up soon although this rain may slow that end date. We appreciate everyone's patience as this work is completed. Ms. Lanteigne’s class sponsored a 9/11 Car Wash for First Responders and Veterans on Monday in the bus circle. This was yet again a huge success! Thank you to the staff and students that helped bring this event to life!

Advisory is the back bone to creating and maintaining a sense of community in our school. At the start of the year students are assigned a homeroom, or advisor. During advisory, students learn to work together, communicate, and problem solve as a team. This year we will be ordering t-shirts for each student to represent their advisory team from Whitt's in China. Please complete the attached form indicating the appropriate size for your student. T-shirts are cotton, Gildan brand shirts. We appreciate your help getting the most accurate shirt for your student. :)

School Picture Day is Monday, October 2nd. Use THIS link to pre-order today on mylifetouch.com with your Picture Day ID: EVTDXTHNG.
