Permission slips were given to students today for our Fall Rec Night on October 24. From now until the day of the Rec Night, students must be in good standing behaviorally and through their attendance in order to attend. At minimum, students will be allowed to partake in this after school event if they meet the following criteria:
• No more than 2 level 2 referrals
• No level 3 or level 4 referrals
• No more than 3 tardies
Administration will be monitoring student progress and will communicate with families if students are not allowed to attend this event.
This event will cost $5. Money collected will go towards food and drinks for students who attend.

We are not responsible for students’ personal belongings. Please check the Lost & Found table by the Library. All unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the month.




Yearbook orders are going on sale now! Order online at yearbookforever.com or in the Main Office.


Starting tomorrow, all students will be required to wear their school ID at all times during the school day. This is an important part of maintaining a safe and secure learning environment. If your child has lost their ID, please contact the school office to request a replacement. We will provide up to two replacement IDs at no cost. Beginning with the third replacement, there will be a $5.00 charge. Thank you for your support in helping us keep our school safe and organized. Please reach out to the main office if you have any questions.
