A Message from Mr. Hernandez
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As the final trimester of the year approaches, I want to make sure all students end the year strong. One of the contributing factors to ending strong is students adhering to our uniform policy. Please know that I have asked teachers to address students not in uniform. Please take a moment to review our uniform policy located on our school website. If your child has a medical condition that requires him/her to wear a hat, please do bring a doctor’s note to the school office so that we can have it on file. Please know that Fridays are days where students must still adhere to our overall District dress code policy. Thank you in advance for your support and for assuring your child is abiding by the uniform policy.

One School, One Book- My Father's Dragon Written By: Ruth Stiles Gannett
Brief Book Summary:
When Elmer Elevator hears about the baby dragon being held captive on Wild Island, he knows just what to do. First, he packs his knapsack with important supplies, like chewing gum, lollipops, and lots of rubber-bands. Then he stows away on a ship headed for theisland. Along the way, Elmer meets many exotic animals. Each tries to sidetrack him, but Elmer has some tricks up his sleeve . . . or more precisely, in his knapsack. One way or another, he will rescue the dragon!
