Dear Parents and Students!!

Thank you for your support and have a wonderful week.

From the Desk of the Principal

Dear Parents and Students!!

In the best interest of our students, the NAM talent show was postponed last Friday. The event has been rescheduled for Friday, March 8, 2019. The parent volunteers recommended to me that we go in this direction. There were several factors in making this decision but the main reason being that we needed more time to prepare our students. As I receive more information for the March 8th event I will convey the messages to you via Weekly Rocket, Schoology, and Robo calls.

Also as a reminder parents if you call the school to report a students absence/tardy your child will still receive a call from the School Messenger Robo Call system stating that they are absent from school. This is a automotive system used throughout the district that we do not control.

Thank you for your support and have a wonderful week.
