Good Tuesday evening, Tiger Family. It's rare for us to send out a newsletter on a Tuesday night, but due to the wintry weather and cold, icy conditions, we were given an extra day over the MLK Jr Holiday Weekend.
We have some adjustments to our athletic schedules this week, so please see the details below. A reminder for all our Tigers: please report to third period at 10:50 a.m. tomorrow, as we are on a two-hour delayed start. Buses will also run two hours later, and we will resume our regular schedule after third period tomorrow.
Everyone, stay safe and stay warm! We can’t wait to see our Tigers back in the classrooms; we’ve missed you. We have a short week ahead filled with our winter and spring sports and activities, all hitting their stride. If you have a free night, please go out and support your Tigers as they perform, showcase their talents, and make our community proud. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Your Proud Principal,
Mr. Arredondo

❄️ Dress Code Reminder: No Blankets Allowed! 🧣
As the weather gets colder, we know students may want to bring blankets to stay warm. However, blankets are not allowed on campus due to district dress code guidelines. 🛑
To keep everyone in compliance, we will be strictly enforcing the dress code. If a student is out of dress code, they will be sent to ISS until a change of clothes can be provided.
🔑 Common Violations to Avoid: 🚫 No crop tops or midriff-baring shirts (jackets can’t be used to cover them). 🚫 No BLANKETS, pajama pants, or slippers. 🚫 Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be no more than a dollar bill’s length above the knee.
🐾 Take Advantage of Tiger Time Tutoring! 📚
