Notes from the Principal
Our first dance of the year is tonight. For our new 6th grade families, it is important to note the drop-off and pick-up procedures. We will have signage out front to help and we ask that drivers follow our expectations and time frames to ensure an efficent process. Students are allowed to have their cell phones with them at the dance, but are expected to keep them out of sight during the evening and may not use them to take pictures. Please note the following:
