Happy Thursday Raptor Families!

We are finishing up the end of the quarter and wrapped up our second night of parent-teacher conferences on Tuesday. It was wonderful to connect with so many of our families. Your partnership is a vital part of your students’ educational journey.

We have our first home game for boys basketball on Wednesday, October 18th, versus Firestone Charter. Make sure to come out and support our student-athletes!

Enjoy your long weekend and we hope you find time to connect with your loved ones. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. We appreciate your continued support and involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

Best wishes,
