Week of 11-17-25
As we head into the last week before Thanksgiving break, we want to remind you how important student attendance is. Every day of learning makes a difference, and we truly appreciate your support in ensuring your child is present and engaged this week.
Please remember that Friday is an early-release day.
We wish all of our families a safe, restful, and joyful Thanksgiving break. Enjoy the week off, and we look forward to welcoming all of our Coyotes back on Monday, December 1st!
