DATES TO REMEMBER 2021-2022--this links the calendar that is regularly updated
Drop Off and Pick Up Needs Your Help!
I would just like to remind parents that are dropping children off at the side of the junior high, (parent loop) to please pull all the way up. The more cars set to let students out at one time, the easier the process will be.
Please:
- pay attention to cars and children within the loop and the surrounding areas;
- use your signals/blinker lights;
- drive down in the parking spots on the side of the building;
- a lot a little bit of extra time

The character trait this week is Perspective
Perspective is also referred to as wisdom and is distinct
from intelligence. People with this strength are sought out
for advice because they see the big picture and can make
sense of the world’s complexity. This strength of
perspective gives individuals the ability to see to the heart
of difficult matters and achieve clarity. Most importantly,
they are honest and behave in an ethically consistent
manner.
This weeks work of the week is
