Happy Spring!
Some friendly reminders! With the warmer weather, please review the school dress code found in agenda's, as well as our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. Devices are kept in lockers or backpacks for PE and only permitted in classes for instructional purposes when requested by the teacher.
We have so many amazing volunteer opportunities, as well events coming in the next three months and are excited to have your help and participation. It's a "WE" thing!
