This week's Announcements
We are proud of our great student attendance and how students are coming to school on time every day. Remember, attendance is crucial in helping ensure academic success.
We have Back- to- School Night on Thursday, August 28th from 5:00-7:00 PM for parents only. Thursday will be a minimum day schedule with dismissal at 12:43 PM. Please make sure you have your child’s schedule with teacher names and room numbers. There will be an information meeting for GATE/SAS Parents in the MPR at 4:15 PM. There will be a Title 1 Parent information meeting in the library at 4:15 PM.
The deadline to submit schedule requests is August 26. To minimize classroom disruptions, the deadline for students to ask their Counselors about schedule changes is August 26. While some student movement after this date may be unavoidable, changes will primarily be made to finalize class numbers and ensure appropriate resources are available for each student.
