ABC Count Down to Summer
These are the special things that we are doing at school as we count down to summer vacation. The days that are highlighted YELLOW are the days that the students need to bring something from home in order to participate.
Grades
I have started entering Grades in PowerSchool (link below). Please check your child's grades. He or she should not have any missing assignments. If your child has missing assignments then he/she is not using class-time wisely. If you have lost your parent access information, you can contact the main office and request your parent PowerSchool login information.
