Weekly Wrangler
October 28th, 2022
~ Message from Ms. Triplett ~
Wrangler Families,
Looking to this week, we are excited for our Halloween Parade on Monday! Please review the image below to familiarize yourself with the parent viewing areas. Parents will only be permitted in these areas and cannot enter any buildings. As a reminder, student costumes must be school appropriate. Full face masks, excessive blood or gore, and any type of weapon is not permitted. Any students who do not wish to participate in the parade will be provided an alternate activity.
Also, Tuesday there is NO SCHOOL and Wednesday is our restaurant night at The Stand. We are excited to announce our Lang Ranch spirit wear store has reopened for a limited time. Visit langranchspiritwear.com to place your order by November 7th.
Our brand new website for our school will launch today! This website has a beautiful new design, is mobile friendly, user-friendly and will allow us to continue to highlight all the great things happening at our school. While we plan to hit the “launch” button on Friday, October 28th - it may take up to 48 hours for the website transition to complete. During this time it is possible that the website load time may be slow and/or non-responsive. Please plan ahead, in case there are items you plan to access on our websites during the weekend of October 29th and 30th. We look forward to welcoming you to our new website!
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Happy Trails!
Ms. Triplett
