School Motto - Work Hard Be Kind
________________________________________________________
Now that the weather is getting colder, it is important that students come to school with a coat and other appropriate attire. The cafeteria is only open at 7:45am for those students who eat school breakfast. The cafeteria is not a place for students to keep warm during the morning before school starts. If a student is not eating school breakfast, they will be asked to remain outside until the 8:05am bell rings. Thank you.

Attention Parents: The mid-year NWEA testing window is from December 5 - December 16. Students in all grades will be taking math, reading and language tests at some point during the window. Please make sure your student comes well-rested and ready to do his or her best.

To help encourage student participation, there will be a grade level contest. All items will be displayed on the stage in the cafeteria. The grade level to bring in the most items, will earn an ice cream party and free time.
Student Council members will be coming around periodically during the food drive to collect and count the items left with 1st hour teachers.
