Spirit week was a huge success! Thank you to all students and staff that participated in our first Spirit week this year.
Don't forget Adjective day is around the corner! Encourage your student to come up with the most creative adjective....scary, sleepy, colorful, creepy, sparkly, puzzled and much more, remember no masks or weapons and make sure it is appropriate.
Conferences are coming up next month, we will once again be using Pick-a-time appointment scheduler. Look for instructions in this Fridays Buzz.
Just a reminder - No cars should be entering the the bus lane in the front of the school during the following times:
7:45am to 8:00am
2:10pm to 2:45pm
3:00pm to 3:15pm (Mon, Wed, Thurs)
These times are during bus drop off and pick up. Cars being in between the buses pose a safety concern to students, make it difficult for the buses to navigate the area, and hold the line up. We appreciate you cooperation.
