Dear Cavalier Families,

This is our last week of school before our two-week Fall Break. Our Cavaliers have been made it through the first quarter! There will be no school from Monday, September 25 to Monday, October 9. School will resume on Tuesday, October 10, 2023. Fall Break is a great time to assess where you are at in your academic progress. Perhaps you can reach out to your teachers and use the break to catch up on missed work or study for a test that you can take again. Also take the time to rest and enjoy activities with friends and family!

This week's announcements:

• Makeup Picture Day on Wednesday, September 20 in the MPB. Absent students who weren't here on the first picture day will be called out during one of their classes to take it in the MPB.
