That person will have the fine/detention list to verify if that student can purchase a ticket.


PAC Schedule for the Coming Weeks To accommodate some proposed activities, we are going to rearrange our PAC schedule a little bit over the next three weeks. SEL Screeners will be given for the second time this week in PAC. Opt Out forms have been communicated out to families in previous emails and notes. If you do not want your child to participate, please let us know and please refer to these prior communications for details.

March 2nd: SEL Screener during PAC time + regular AN time

Battle of the Classes Assembly Student Expectations Due to safety reasons, attendance at the Battle of the Classes assembly is mandatory. The expectation is that all students attend unless they are officially excused by an administrator for health reasons. This is a great opportunity to celebrate our school culture and to have an enjoyable time.
