Please remember...
- Bring a charged Chromebook to school

NO SCHOOL - October 5th
REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLES
We have filling stations in all areas of the school.
Please be informed that we have experienced quite a bit of texting by parents to students during school hours. We would like to politely ask you to refrain from texting your child during school hours, as it interrupts the learning process, not to add that phones are not to be on during school hours.
We also would like to add that any child that feels sick is to be cleared by the nurse in order to be dismissed to the parents/ guardians.
We thank you in advance for your full cooperation with this matter.
Have a great weekend.
