A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
We are over halfway through a very dreary month and I dream of the sun and warm weather often. With the mention of weather, please make sure your student is prepared to go outside every day. Also, please remind your student that toys, trinkets and pokemon cards are not allowed at school. This helps eliminate issues that could take place on the playground and in our classrooms. It may even be beneficial to check your student’s bag for these items. I appreciate your support. Finally, if you are dropping students off in the morning, please pull all the way up to the stop sign or as far forward as space allows. I know this means your students might have to walk a little farther to get to the building, but this helps eliminate cars backing up near the middle school and high school. Students can also exit vehicles at 7:32 am.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. LaVictor
