Hello Lichen Bear Families!
Here are this week's announcements:
8th grade families--Save the date for our 8th grade promotion ceremony!
We will be holding our 8th grade promotion ceremony June 6th from 4:30pm-5:30 pm in the MP room. Guests are limited to 4 per student. More information to come!
Site and District enrollment updates
Please make sure that your current emergency card information is up to date with your address, phone numbers, emergency contacts, and email addresses. This ensures you receive all paperwork, including enrollment forms and free and reduced lunch forms for next year. If your family plans on moving out of our school, please call the office to let us know. This way we won’t enroll them in class for next year and we can get their records ready to send to the next school.

As we approach the end of the school year, please note the following dates and times for your calendar:
Minimum days with dismissal at 12:15pm: 5/27/22, 6/7/22
