Principal Manning's Message
Greetings,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Our Homecoming Dance Saturday, September 24th, was a success! This week, we will continue to enjoy our Homecoming Festivities. Attendance is still critical and essential. Thanks for your support!
September is "Attendance Awareness Month" we want to continue to encourage and model the importance of attendance.
To ensure that our students continue to have a successful year:
- Get to school on time
- Don't check in and out of school unless it's for an excused reason
- Turn in all excuses to the office promptly
- Be involved and supportive of all aspects of our school.
Go INDIANS!
