LOST AND NOT FOUND...YET...
We have lots of lost clothing and water bottles. If your student is missing anything, please have them come look in the "lost and found" in the back of the cafeteria.
Reminder
A reminder that we do not accept drop-offs at school, which includes items like homework, shoes, Chromebooks, food, and PE clothes. Our goal is to encourage students to take responsibility for their own belongings and schoolwork.
To support this, each class is equipped with two loaner Chromebooks for students to use, PE provides loaner clothes and shoes when needed, and all students are eligible for free brunch and lunch.
We appreciate your help in fostering this sense of responsibility in our students. Thank you for your understanding!

Attendance is critical to student success!
Did you know...
- By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
- By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.
ATTENDANCE TIPS
• Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day.
• Help your children maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
• Try not to schedule dental and non-urgent related medical appointments during the school day.
• Keep your student healthy, and if you are concerned about Covid-19, call your school for advice.
• If your children must stay home because they are sick, make sure they have asked teachers for resources and materials to make up for the missed learning time in the classroom.
