Dear Bobcat Families,

This weekend students in grades 7-12 will present our spring musical, The Wizard of Oz, with help from "munchkins" in grades 3-6. Please click HERE to purchase your tickets today. Showtimes are as follows:

Fri. Mar 17th 2023, 7:30 pm

Sat. Mar 18th 2023, 7:30 pm

Sun. Mar 19th 2023, 2:30 pm

Please be advised that the end of the marking period will be on Friday, 3/24, which is a 1/2 day of school for students with an 11 AM dismissal. Please be sure to check your student's grades and communicate with teachers if there are areas of concern. It's hard to believe that we are almost entering the fourth marking period.

We are extremely excited to offer a positive behavior incentive for Middle School students that encompasses attending a Mud Hens Game for students who abide by rules and expectations on a consistent basis!
