Please be sure to send your children to school with their chromebooks charged as well as their headphones. Testing will start promptly after homeroom, so please be sure to get to school on time!
Arts Rageous
The performances are completely optional, and part of the fun is not knowing who you will be performing with! Students are welcome to join in at any time.
We are looking forward to a wonderful night! For more information, please see the attached LINK.
Kindergarten Round Up:
Attention Parents of our incoming Kindergarten students... if you have registered your child for kindergarten, we will be holding our Kindergarten Roundup on Monday & Tuesday, June 6th & 7th. Shortly, you will be receiving an email from Blackboard with a sign-up genius link where you will be able to pick your date and time to attend the roundup. The roundup will last approximately an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half. During their time here, students will participate in a variety of activities which will help us to learn more about them as students and individuals.
While the students are off having fun, the parents will be meeting with Mrs. Keiser, Mr. Perruso, Mrs. McCool, and Nurse Ewer so that we can provide you with an overview of Kindergarten and additional information you may need as your child embarks on his/her journey into education! We are looking forward to seeing you.
More information will be coming out shortly!
