Dear Families and Staff,

The district and the teachers' union have been working together on contract negotiations over the past several months. While we have not yet finalized all calendar dates, we have agreed to hold a district-wide professional development day on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. As a result, there will be no school for students on that day.

Thank you for your patience, and we will continue to share updates as more information becomes available.

Sincerely,

Jen Curry
Acting Superintendent

Uur PBIS focus for the month of October is on Hallway Expectations! We encourage all students to be mindful of the following: make sure you're getting to class on time, keeping the hallways clean by throwing away trash and food wrappers, walking calmly—no running—and showing safe and respectful behavior. Let’s work together to create a positive and orderly environment in our school!

Please see the attached document for an overview of some keys policies pertaining to cellphones, headphones, earbuds, hats, hoodies and backpacks. We will review these policies with students during our grade level assemblies.
