For questions or more information please contact your building principal.

Families,

Please have a conversation with your student about appropriate language and time/place. We are seeing a growing use of inappropriate language and horseplay (pushing and shoving or messing around with friends and knocking into other people in the hall) occuring at school. We have had a large number is discipline referrals the past two weeks for these behaviors. We would appreciate if you could help us to decrease these behaviors at school by having proactive a conversation at home. Thank you!

In an effort to increase communication, you will receive a weekly email update in this manner. You can also expect to receive school reach calls and text messages throughout the school year and can find more information through our website and social media outlets. If you are not receiving school reach calls, please contact the school so we can update your information. Please don't hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year.
