Hello Wildcat Families,
Solar Eclipse:
On Monday April 8th, there will be an eclipse. While we know some schools may have some activities for their students, we were not able to get glasses for all 800 students.
Due to this, we want to ensure safety of our students. For this reason, we will hold a rainy-day schedule beginning at 10:00am-1:00pm. Students will not be allowed to go outside.
Attendance:
As we near the end of the quarter, we would like to remind you that attendance continues to be important for our students. We need to make sure our students are at school and on time. Please make sure to schedule appointments after the school day. I would also like to remind our parents that signing out students early is really impacting all of our students especially our middle school students. Any time students arrive late and/or are signed out early this impact their learning and will also impact their grades. We can’t stress this enough. We want your child/ren to succeed academically, however they must be at school. Thank you.

We will make sure you receive updated information and schedules for testing. Please help us encourage your child/ren by writing a note to wish them the best of luck on the testing. We also ask that you make sure they get a good nights rest, eat a healthy breakfast and come on time to school on their days of testing. We want them to try their best and put forth their best effort. The state test impacts their performance as well as our performance as a school. We believe in them and know that with your help, our students will shine!
Jump Party:
On April 26th, we will hold a “Jump Party” for all 2nd-8th grade students that have shown growth on their benchmark tests. We will also take into account student attendance and effort during our state testing. Teachers will notify Admin of students that will be allowed to participate.
