A friendly reminder that we DO NOT allow students to dress up for Halloween at the Junior High level.

This week our 8th graders participated in our AT Challenge where students were able to compete with their AT's in a fun volleyball competition. Staff and students had a great time. Keep up the great work on Lancer Way!

Thank you to all that helped make our fall conferences a success! Our staff and guardians were able to engage in great conversation and answer questions to help our students continue to be successful.
