Students will be given pink colored “T” unity tickets when they are caught in the act throughout the week. Please talk with your child about how they can lead by example in their classroom, at lunch/recess, in the hallways and on the bus!

HSA Meetings-Exploring Babysitting Option
Hey everyone! Our 1st HSA meeting is just around the corner and we are so excited to see as many of you as possible! We are exploring a babysitting option for those that would otherwise be unable to make it due to child care conflicts. Please see the google form below, to help us gauge at how many of you would be able to attend our meeting and if you would need to utilize our babysitting option so we are able to plan accordingly! Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing all of our new and returning parents!
