Principal's Message

Tiger Families,

We hope everyone had a great Spring Break. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility on Thursday morning. Our campus had no power until midday.

State testing (OST) begins next week, starting with ELA on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure your student arrives at school on time. If possible, avoid scheduling appointments or absences on testing days. Additionally, please remind your student to bring their Chromebook fully charged to school each day. Your support in preparing them for success is greatly appreciated!

Have a good weekend! Hoping for some sunshine next week! Go Tigers!

Presentations from Holocaust & Humanity Center

Our 6th graders had the amazing opportunity to listen to the stories of three Holocaust survivors- Steve Coppel, Henry Fenchiel and Zahava Render. These individuals spoke of their experiences, hopes, dreams and what it means to be an Upstander. Thanks to Mrs. Kirby for planning this experience for our students.
