• Remember to call in any absences to the office as soon as possible; if we get time we will inform the teachers about the absence in order to prepare the student/parents with any missed work!

Students gathered for their 'monthly' assembly that we are doing this year for PBS. Students were highlighted for their positive behavior as well as the Middle and High School "Students of the Month" who were chosen by their teachers! This month students were randomly selected out of a hat for their chance to win a giftcard to a place of their choice! Students also participated in a game, which can help them earn points towards their class total, which will then allow them to obtain rewards at certain milestones.... All of our classes have been awarded a popcorn party, their next reward is a popsicle party!
