Charging into Greatness!
Happy Memorial Weekend!
As we approach Memorial Day, let us honor and remember the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. May their courage and dedication inspire us to cherish the freedoms they fought to protect.
We are in the final days of the 2023-2024 School Year. With 8 days left of the year, it's important to stay committed to your student's work completion and attendance.
8th graders will return Chromebook & Charger on 5/31

There are so many exciting celebrations as we close out this year-make sure your student is able to participate in all of them by turning in all fees, clearing any credit recovery hours and following our behavioral and academic expectations!
