PAWS Information
This is not a one-on-one tutoring support. If you are interested in having your student attend, please contact your team of teachers to coordinate it. Because of transportation needs, the deadline for this communication is noon on Tuesdays (the day prior to PAWs on Wednesdays). The list starts fresh every week, so it is important to communicate with the teachers frequently - if they haven't already reached out to you.
Our goal is for this to be a productive but fun time for the students who are attending to complete tasks and practice academics.
No Tardy Party: Part Deux
End-of-the-Year Incentive
Student Attendance at After School Events
Students are expected to remain in the stands during the games unless utilizing restroom or concessions. Middle school students will have a designated section in the south end zone on the field and will have access to the nearby visitor concessions and restrooms.
