I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. Our 8th-grade students had a small glimpse of high school life this past week. Classes and schedules for next year are all the buzz! What an exciting time!

We celebrated our counselors this week! We appreciate all of them.

We have many events coming up, so please make sure you are scrolling through this whole newsletter. Progress reports went live in PowerSchool on Friday. Please make sure you are speaking with your student about their progress.

Our curriculum nights (called EXPO last year) will be on February 23rd for upcoming 6th-grade students (current 5th-grade) and on February 24th for upcoming 7th and 8th-grade students (current 6th- and 7th-grade). See more information below.

You must follow the procedures in the graphic below my note. These are put in place for maximum traffic flow, and most importantly, student and faculty safety. Please do not go between the cones. Please ensure that if you arrive early, you pull all the way around so as not impede the entire carpool line.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email or call me.

With Pride,
