Cookie Dough and the PTO
Our PTO is hosting a cookie dough fundraiser starting September 13. More information coming soon!
Chromebooks
All Spartans should have picked up their Chromebook last week. If they haven't, we will get them one this week. Please remind your Spartan to bring your Chromebook everyday.
Our bus to the YMCA has started. Students must bring a parent note (or have parents call the office) to get a pass for the bus. This will be a permanent pass and only one note or phone call is needed.

As I mentioned in earlier Family Messages, new this year, to avoid congestion in our hallways, students will not be released to go to their classes until 7:25 a.m. in the mornings. Students will have plenty of time to eat breakfast in the cafeteria before school when they arrive, but students who finish eating or are not eating lunch will have to remain in the foyer or library before school.
To help us avoid congestion in our common areas, if you are dropping your student off in the mornings please do so as close to the start of school at 7:40 a.m. as possible. We appreciate your help!
I've included information below from previous Family Messages.
Our Family Messages will come out each Saturday morning from this point forward, but as usual please do not hesitate to call or email if you need anything or have questions!
Have a great night!
