Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
We will be having early release conferences this Wednesday, Sept. 27th, and Thursday, Sept. 28th. Progress reports for the first six weeks also go out on Monday. Now is the time to take stock of where your child is in terms of academic achievement. If you have concerns, please contact your child's teachers for a conference. Also, please note that on the early release days, we will be dismissing students starting around 1:15 with all buses running by around 1:45. Please plan accordingly for your student's afternoon care.
A special thank you goes to J.R.'s BBQ, one of our fabulous community businesses who provided lunch for teachers and staff last week.. What a nice way to start the school year. Thank you! The lunch was enjoyed by all, and we appreciate your support of our school!

7th Grade STEM Project
On Thursday we were fortunate to have a few engineers from UPS volunteer to provide feedback to a group of 7th grade students on their Rube Goldberg project. Each group had an opportunity to present their machines to the engineers, students have worked tirelessly for weeks designing their complex machines. Below are just a few pictures of the students projects.
