Crosswalk & Parking Lot Safety
We are asking for your continued support in making our parking lot safe for students, staff, other parents and guests who are walking to and from the building.
It is essential that each person does his/her part to use good judgment and put safety first.
Here are some helpful reminders:
When walking through, please use marked crosswalks
Go slow at all times.
Please drop off your student in the student drop-off zone.
Try to avoid parking in a spot to drop off your student.
Pull forward in the drop-off lane to allow space for other parents to drop off their
students.
Please do not stop or park your car in the crosswalk areas.
Thank you in advance for your continued support in keeping our Wolves safe.
Attendance Awareness
Spring Forward with Strong Attendance!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we move into March and the spring season, we want to emphasize the importance of consistent school attendance for our students. This time of year is critical for academic success, as students are wrapping up key lessons, preparing for state and national assessments, and setting the stage for a strong finish to the school year.
Hereβs why good attendance matters more than ever:
Academic Success β Missing school means missing instruction, discussions, and hands-on activities that are essential for mastering complex concepts.
Test Readiness β Many standardized tests and final exams take place in the spring. Regular attendance ensures students are fully prepared.
Credit Earning & Graduation Requirements β In middle and high school, attendance directly impacts course credits. Too many absences can put students at risk of falling behind or not meeting graduation requirements.
College & Career Readiness β Developing strong attendance habits now prepares students for future responsibilities, whether in college, career training, or the workforce.
Social & Extracurricular Engagement β School is not just about academics; regular attendance keeps students involved in clubs, sports, and activities that build friendships and leadership skills.
We encourage you to reinforce the importance of attendance with your student and support them in staying on track. If your child is facing challenges that impact attendance, please reach outβweβre here to help!
