Happy New Year everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful break, holiday season and new year. We are excited to welcome students back on Tuesday, 1/7 for the start of 2nd Semester. We look forward to continuing all of the amazing work and fun our school community has had already this year and carry it onto the end of the year. We hope you all have a great week back and please be sure to check below for a couple of reminders for this week.
New Semester Classes: We start the 2nd semester this week and if your student had a semester-long elective, they will be starting their new elective(s) on Tuesday. The easiest way to find out is to check Homelink to find out what classes they have and if there were any changes to their schedule. 6th-grade students in Rotation were told before break what their next Rotation class would be. If any student is not sure of their schedule, have them come to the Wellness Center (Room S4) on Tuesday morning to get a copy of their schedule.
Cell Phones: Parents, please remind students about our school cell phone policy that phones are ONLY allowed before and after school, not during. Phones need to be out of sight and silent during the school day. As we come back from a break this is always a necessary reminder. As always, if you need to get a hold of your student please call the office. If students need to call home they should come to the office to do so.
