- Students who are confused or need additional help should reach out to the teacher through email, Google Classroom, or by phone.

important friendly reminders
- All students are required to wear a mask or face covering while on campus, on district transportation, or attending a school-related activity. The mask or face covering should cover the wearer’s nose, mouth, and chin simultaneously. Parents, please review these expectations with your child- especially the part about the mask covering the nose, too.
- Please send a water bottle to school with your child for access to water during the day. While our water fountains are turned off, our refillable water stations remain on and available to students throughout the day.
- Report Cards will be mailed to FIVE students on Wednesday and will be sent home with in-person students on Thursday of this week.
congratulations!
february students of the month
The Character Trait for February is RESPECT. Respect is showing high regard for and positive actions toward yourself, others, and property. Respect conveys a sense of admiration for good and valuable qualities. Being respectful is a very important character trait to employers. This means treating people with care and concern. It also means collaborating and working with others, especially with those who may be different from you.
Congratulations to the following students who have been recognized as Students of the Month.
