SCHOOL INFORMATION- FEBRUARY 2024
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS:
The month of January is quickly behind us and we are on to February. We appreciated the unseasonable warm weather at the end of January. It helped to make up for the cold spell we had in the middle. February will go by just as quickly. We have many different activities taking place during February so please take a look at everything we have going on.
ACADEMIC UPDATES/FRIDAY MORNING BREAKFAST CLUB:
- We are offering Friday Morning Breakfast Club Friday, February 2nd and also on February 23rd from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM to assist with missing assignments and failing grades. Our goal is to offer every opportunity we can to our students to assist them with earning their academic credit.
- We appreciate the ongoing support for our PIE meetings. We have continued to have a good turnout and parents expressing an interest in what is happening in our school and their son or daughter's education is a positive. We did take the month of December off due to the numerous activities but will have our next PIE Meeting will be on Wednesday, February 7th, 2024 at 5:00 PM in the library. Officer Tramp will be presenting on school safety. It should be a great meeting.
