Starting from Monday, December 11th to January 17th, we invite each student to contribute to this meaningful initiative by bringing in Gloves. Your generous donations will make a significant impact on the lives of those impacted by Hurricane Heline in the western part of our state.
Let's come together as a school community to honor the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and make a positive difference. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. - Dr. Martin Luther King

CULTURE
SYSTEMS
PowerSchool is an advanced Student Information System used by schools across the country. Its functions include grading, attendance, and the scheduling of courses. PowerSchool is capable of allowing parents and students to access student grades and attendance in real time, as well as state assessment individual reports. The purpose of this feature is to increase communication and collaboration among parents, students, and teachers. It gives parents and guardians more information about their child’s education and encourages students to take increased ownership of their learning.
Parents/Guardians are provided an opportunity each fall to review their contact information and their student's information in PowerSchool, yet it is important to contact our data manager Mrs. Bland if any parent/guardian or student information has changed at any time during the year. This will ensure families receive all school communications including (but not limited to) report cards, inclement weather notifications, emergencies, and weekly updates from the school.
