Principal's Corner
I hope everyone stayed safe while we were out last week! We missed our HAWKS! We will celebrate the 100th day of school on Monday! Looking forward to seeing everyone!
- The Title I Parent & Family Engagement Survey window is now open! The data gathered in the Title I Survey is a vital tool in measuring parent perceptions and knowledge of the Title I, Part A Program, and it should be utilized as part of the Comprehensive Needs Assessment.

- Don't forget to dress like you are 100 for the 100th day of school on MONDAY! This is one of my favorite days of the year! I can't wait to see all the fun things!
Just a reminder about dress code:
- students are expected to be in dress code everyday. If there are needs that you have in regards to this, please reach out to Mr. Petras for assistance. We have resources and can help.
School Store Fundraiser!
Your child is bringing home a Parent Information Envelope letting you know about a safe and easy way for our school to raise funds for essential tools our students and teachers need to succeed.
