Raptor News

Happy Friday Raptor Families,

What a fantastic week! It was so fun to see everyone out at the Halloween parade. We loved all of the creative costumes. As an extra reminder, the lost and found is filling up fast! Make sure that your student has gone through it if you are missing items. Everything will be donated on Friday, November 17th.

This next week is full of events and sports! Boys basketball has a home game on Monday versus Sunset Middle School. Their final game will be on Saturday, November 11th, at a location and time to be announced. It has been so much fun watching them grow their skills and sportsmanship during this time!

The middle school Band Concert is on Thursday at 6:00pm. We can’t wait to see the growth of our young musicians at their first concert. Our 1st Grade Music Concert is on Tuesday at 6:00pm. It will be such a joy watching them share their growth with parents and friends.

We have moved fully into cooler weather. Please remind your students to wear appropriate clothing to school and to dress in layers.

We appreciate your continued support and involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

Best Wishes,

Catrina Estrada, Principal

Sandra Vazquez, Assistant Principal

Matt Romig, Assistant Principal

Grant Elwood, Dean of Students
