Message from Ms. Weatherford
Thank you for your support of our spirit days for Start with Hello Week.
I'm so impressed with the hard work that our students our doing every day! Also, the photographers from picture day were very complimentary of the nice manners shown by our students as they were photographed.
A few reminders:
- students should bring their chromebooks, fully charged, every day
- the RFID cards need to stay on students' backpacks all the time (we are waiting on more cards to come from the supplier and will issue those to students who don't have one as soon as we receive them)
- please bring sure to send a water bottle with your student every day
