Principal's Corner
We are hoping your last few days of summer break are amazing!! We are also looking forward to seeing everyone again. We welcomed our teachers back into the building today and everyone is eager to start a new year. Go Gators!
As you plan your future, be sure to put our back to school night on your calendar. This is a parent only evening to meet teachers and reconnect with our community. We will have the Middle School evening in the gym from 6-7 pm on August 21. The grade K-5 evening will be from 5:30-7 pm on August 22. Come join our Gator Nation as we kick off the new year.
Since Middle School students start on the 13th, we have some important information for our 6-8 graders!
The Girl’s volleyball team will hold tryouts on the first day of school from 2:30-4:30. We are lucky have Mrs. Casinelli as our coach again. Boys soccer will have tryouts on the 14th from 2:30-4:30. Come ready to play!
We will hold elections for students wanting to join our 6-8 grade Student Leadership Team on Friday, August 16. Any student interested in representing their grade level will give an oral speech to their class on Tuesday, August 14 during 8th period. Students interested in being on the election ballot and giving a speech must let Mrs McEntire know by the end of lunch on the 14th. We will give more details to students in the first-day assemblies August 13. We hope to have our student leaders engaged and involved with school activities immediately. Our student voice is valued and their involvement with our student community really helps our Gator Nation.
Our carpool queue will run the same for morning and afternoon. We will have staff to help kids get out during the morning and we ask you to drive all the way forward in the queue before letting your student out. The front and back doors are open during carpool. We will continue a “South pick up spot” in the afternoon. You can come and park in the west side of the Extra Space Storage parking lot to pick up your kiddos without getting into the carpool queue. Parents who tried this spot at the end of last year really liked that they could leave so quickly. Make sure your child is always aware of your pick up plan each day! As construction and traffic increase along the Mineral Ave corridor, we encourage you to use our designated pick up process instead of sending your children to walk along Mineral.
We are so excited about this year. Be safe, Be happy, and Be Great Gators.
