Announcements & Updates
- Morning rehearsals for the Winter concert begin next week. Please see the website calendar and/or the communication from Mrs. Carpenter and Mr. McMurray for the schedule.
- Per Board of Education policy 2430, students must maintain passing grades (minimum 63%) in all classes to participate in Interscholastic Sports. Grades will be checked on December 18, the midpoint of the Winter season, and those students who do not meet the criteria will be ineligible to participate in athletics until their academic performance improves.
- Mid-marking period progress reports for students in grades 5, 6, and 7 are in the process of being mailed home. Once you have had an opportunity to review the progress report with your child, please return the signed acknowledgement form to your child's home base teacher.
- Administration continues to receive reports of students not utilizing the sidewalks around Orchard Circle and Park Ave and instead running across the middle of the street. Please remind your child to use sidewalks and crosswalks at all times.
