Dear Parents and Families,

We are still having difficulties with restrooms. 😒🙄😖 We are brainstorming ways to deter students from abusing bathroom privileges and to stop the few that are purposely trashing the restrooms. Please have conversations with your child(ren) about minimizing the use of restrooms to true needs and not going to the bathroom for socializing, work avoidance, cell phone use, etc. If you can spare some time throughout your week to volunteer with Eagle Watch, we'd love to have you.
