Parents, make sure your student attends school every day all day. Every minute counts. Students must be in class ready to receive instruction at 8:00am

The 5th Six Weeks begins Tuesday 2/21/23. These six weeks we are working on attendance incentives.


  • Individual class attendance incentives. Popcorn celebration when the class spells out BLACKCATS.
  • The class with the highest attendance % per grade level will get pizza at the end of the third and sixth weeks.
  • Grade level with the highest attendance % will get an ice cream social at the end of the six weeks.

Chromebook Etiquette-Parents, we need your assistance with the following:

At THE we have Chromebook rules. At this time we are asking all students:

1. Only log into a Chromebook using their own username and password.

2. Do not let anyone borrow your Chromebook if you have already logged into it.

3. Be mindful that everything we search for on the internet is being monitored.

4. As a student, you are ultimately responsible for anything being searched for under your username and password.


Parents, we greatly appreciate your help with this matter.

W.I.N. Time

Parents,

We will resume W.I.N. Time on Saturday, February 25, 2023.

We are extremely proud of all our students who have shown up to Saturday W.I.N. Time. Your support as a parent with this is greatly appreciated! Thank you for being invested in your child's education.
