The Hornet Buzz

To empower, enrich, and enlighten students to reach their full potential while respecting our past.

It has been a busy two weeks here! We are in full swing with learning and athletics are now starting with games. I am enjoying getting to know more students and see them at drop off, in classrooms, at lunch, and in the hallways. It's also been great seeing our athletes competing. We have a busy September here at school, so be sure to keep up with our upcoming events in the newsletter, Facebook page, and/or Thrillshare.

Please reach out if you have any questions, feedback, or concerns.

Warm regards,

Ashley Musick

I have loved seeing kids in the office for positive things! I have had preschool all the way up to a senior in my office for something good! They have a variety of prizes to choose from when they come to my office and spin the wheel--coupons, candy, snack, etc. Snack has been pretty popular!

Softball hosted Iberia and Tuscumbia for their Jamboree. This year, admission was a canned good item for Helping Hands

Beginning of Year Packets: We still have a few parent packets from Open House that need to be turned in to the office.

Drop off times: Students can't be dropped off before 7:45, unless participating in the Before Care program or an appointment with a teacher. This is to ensure that they are being looked after by staff. Drop off times should be between 7:45 and 8:00 and students will come to the gym during those times instead of main entrance.

Change to your child's end of day routine: Please be sure to let the office know of any changes to end of day routine by 2:30.
