End of the First Semester: The final day of the first semester is Thursday, January 30th. Please help your student have a strong finish and get the best grade possible. You can check grades on Parentvue to see if they have any missing assignments. They can also take advantage of our study hall which is available every day after school in the Library. Friday, January 31st is a non-school grading day.
8th Grade Trip to OMSI: On Friday, February 14th we will be taking our 8th-grade students on a field trip to OMSI. They will be going through the exhibits and watching a show in the planetarium. In order for your child to attend we need to have a completed permission slip turned in to the office. The permission slip can be accessed via the link below. We need chaperones so if you are a district-approved volunteer and available on this day, please let us know.
