Important Remindersβπ»
Hot Dog Orders
A reminder that hot dog orders MUST be placed before 11 pm on the Sunday prior to the hot dog Wednesday. The order button on the Parent Portal will taken down every Sunday at 11pm and will be back up on Wednesday at 3pm so we can get our numbers in.
Emergency Drills
Over the next month, we will be rehearsing our emergency drills. These drills include fire, lock-down, hold and secure, shelter-in-place, and on alert. Practicing emergency drills is an integral part of school safety and being properly prepared for emergencies. Students will usually be notified in advance that these are in fact drills and not a real situation. The procedures that will be practiced and discussed are in preparation if a future event occurs at or around the school where these measures would need to be implemented to help keep everyone safe. If you have any questions about the drills, please feel free to contact Mr. Murray Howell, principal.
