From the Principal
Parents,
We had a great opening week of school. I appreciate your patience and we have made a few minor changes on our end to make things a little better around here. Here are a few things for you:
1. I found some planners and have placed them in the bookstore. They are from Pinnacle Bank and were given to staff. Most of my staff chose not to use them. They are free. I have about 50 of them.
2. We conducted our lock down drill last Friday. It went smoothly. Your student has a good understanding of what to do if we ever have to go into a lock down. If we ever have to do this, we will communicate with you right away.
3. Teachers are supposed to have their Canvas page updated every Monday by 8:00am. This is a great place for parents to see what’s happening in their classes.
4. We will have a larger voice on social media this school year. Look for us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Have a great week and reach out to me if you need anything.
Thanks,
Mr. Kalina

A message may be left if the line is busy or if it is before or after school hours. Messages are checked frequently.
For appointments, please try to call at least 30 minutes before your student needs to leave school. Parents do not need to come into the school if a phone call or email was made in advance. Your student may meet you outside.
