PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Wow, we are just a few days away from completing the first quarter of the school year! I'm not sure if it seems as though it has passed as quickly with our families, but it certainly has flown by for our staff.

Final grades will be collected this week, and report cards will be sent home on October 29th. K-6 students will receive report cards in their Tuesday Express, while 7th/8th grade students will have report cards mailed home. Please review grades with your students, and let our teachers know if you have any questions. Keeping track of your child's progress is also easy if you monitor Powerschool through the quarter. It is helpful for students if they know their parents are tracking their grades, and are aware of the progress they are making through the quarter. Please call our front office if you need assistance with logging into Powerschool.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Fall Vacation next week. We look forward to hitting the ground running with 2nd quarter when we return on Monday, October 21st.
