Dear Families,

We hope you had a delightful Thanksgiving break, enjoying quality time with your loved ones. As we return to our school routine, we are excited to continue our journey of learning and growth together.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the families who generously provided sweets and salty snacks before the break. Your thoughtful contributions were greatly enjoyed by everyone, and we are truly grateful for your support. Our community's kindness and generosity never cease to amaze us, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a supportive and caring environment.

Morning Club Drop-Off Reminders for Parents

Drive Up to the Flag Pole: Please drive all the way up to the flag pole before dropping off students. This allows more students to exit cars and keeps the line moving efficiently.
Safety First: Do not park and send your student across the car line. This is dangerous, and we want our Cougars to be safe.
Wednesday Mornings: Marathon Club should drop off in the back lot near the track. This helps alleviate traffic in the front.
Right Turn Only: Remember to only turn right out of the driveway. Turning left causes traffic to back up.

If we all follow these procedures, the club drop-off should run smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation!

Watch D.O.G.S. Information

WATCH D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative. There are 2 primary goals of the WATCH D.O.G.S. program: 1. To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. 2. To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.

Remember to apply every year to volunteer for Watch D.O.G.S. on this link. It may take a couple of weeks to process. You will receive your schedule upon arrival! We ask that dads sign up for one spot per year so all families have the opportunity to participate. Thank you for volunteering!

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR WATCH D.O.G.S. UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN CLEARED AFTER FILLING OUT THE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION.
