Beautiful spring weather has arrived and with it sometimes comes an increase in students being tardy for
class, as well as, an overall increase in absences. We
would like to take this opportunity to encourage parents
to discuss the necessity of school attendance with students for ALL of their classes, especially when end-ofcourse tests are so close at hand. Outside sporting
events that take place after school hours provide a great
opportunity for students to get outdoors and enjoy the
weather as they participate in or cheer on our school
sports teams.
We greatly appreciate your continued
support in this matter.
Friday, March 30 ~ Teacher Workday
Friday, April 6 ~ Easter Holiday
Monday-Friday, April 9-13 ~ Spring Break
Cap & Gown and Announcement
deliveries will be April 20th during
lunches. Balance will be due that day.
