Principal's Message
Happy Monday Cougar Families!
I would like to thank everyone who voted in our governing board election. We had four qualified candidates and I would like to congratulate Myra Giordano and Kara Trudgeon who were the top two vote getters. I look forward to continuing our work with both Myra and Kara as we strive to make our school the best place to learn and work.
Please note that quarter 1 ends on Friday and the school will be closed to students on Monday October 14th.
Rah! Rah! Cougars!
