Mr. Hiti's Message

A reminder that school resumes on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

Please remind your student(s) to keep their newly purchased electronic devices at home. This would include phones, earbuds, or any other expensive item they have. These are very hard to recover if they are lost, misplaced, or stolen during the school day and they are a distraction in the classroom. We appreciate your cooperation with this.

As I mentioned in a previous writing, second quarter ends on January 24. It will come up fast and students need to make sure their missing work/assignments are turned in on time to get credit.

Happy New Year!
