Every Student Counts, Every Moment Matters!
A Message from Principal Webb
I wanted to take this time to thank everyone for your continued patience with the carline- pickup and drop off procedures. We will be getting painted lines in the circle turn around to help with carline spots. It is starting to go pretty quickly and efficiently thanks to everyone's team effort!
Outside and inside construction is getting less and less. Playground gate latches will be installed soon as well as the basketball hoops on the north concrete area. We will then work with the district to paint some more playground games on the hard surface area for recess time. The final touches to the computer lab are TV monitors. They should be installed this coming week for student use.
I hope everyone takes time to enjoy the extended weekend!
Sincerely,
Kelli Webb

NEW!! Playground Safety Guidelines for before, during and after school!
Attention- PLAYGROUND USERS
Our BASP (KEY) has up to 100 students also using the playground after school and actually have first priority when using the equipment. Parents and guardians pay for this program supervision and we ask that you respect this by supervising your child if you choose to play on the equipment after school hours.
The expectation is that ALL students are supervised by parents/guardians if they are using the equipment after school.
