Jump Rope For Heart

Coaches Got Silly Stringed!
Thanks to Coaches Chartier, Abramson, and Miller for being good sports.
"Thumbs Up" for Thanksgiving Feast!
We served approximately 225 family members at our Thanksgiving Lunch.
Are You "That Guy?"
We are still trying to problem solve a few issues in the parking lot so we can keep all of our students safe. We need everyone in on this! We still have a few parents who are not following procedures and it causes problems and unnecessary stress for everyone who is trying to be safe. A few parents try to avoid the drop off lane by dropping students off in the parking lot instead of at the curb. Please don't be "that guy"! We are all in this together.
All that Jazz...And Concert Band, Too!
Each month, we showcase an exceptional staff website. Ms. Belliveau's site offers a wealth of resources for our band students and parents.
Where are You?
It's critical that parents call the absence line when a child is going to be absent. Contacting your child's teacher is fine, but won't excuse your child from school. Please remember to call (623) 445-8290 to report all absences.
