Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families
We appreciate your support and collaboration throughout the school year, which is crucial in ensuring the safety of all our students. We thank all of you who read and responded to our recent community alert and we appreciate all of the tips we have received in an effort to locate our missing student and reunite her with her family. We continue to stay in communication with the family and law enforcement.
We are committed to keeping school safety as our number one priority, and our School Safety Committee works to maintain a high level of resources available to our staff, students and parents. Through safety drills, CPR training, or school culture training, our staff has access to safety resources throughout the year. Our students are supported with 7 campus supervisors, a school staff of trusted adults, and our Say Something App, as some of the safety resources provided for our students.
For our parents, please remember to explore our Take Care section on the school website, tailored to address your concerns and offer guidance on student safety. Additionally, our school safety committee is dedicated to enhancing safety measures for our students' well-being, and we value your input in this ongoing process. We invite all members of our community to actively participate in our safety initiatives, whether through volunteering or sharing feedback. Your continued commitment to student safety is truly commendable and essential.
