• Thank you to all the families that attended Open House. It was truly a pleasure hosting you all and having our students guide you through their daily schedule. 

• Another big thank you for helping make sure our students were well prepared for the fall iReady diagnostic. We'll share the results next week.

• Picture day is Thursday. Visit this page for more information.

• Our counselors are hosting a career fair again this year. If you're interested, please visit this page.

• This upcoming week we will participate in a fire drill with our staff and students. 

• This year, all middle school students will participate in a new daily Advisory period from 8:55–9:15 a.m. This class is a required part of the school day, and students are expected to arrive on time. Advisory is a dedicated time focused on building strong connections between students and staff, supporting social-emotional growth, and helping students develop important skills such as goal setting, organization, and self-advocacy. This time is built into the school schedule, so students do not miss any instructional time from their first-period class. Advisory is not graded, but it is an important part of the school day where students will participate in activities that build community, celebrate achievements, and support both academic and personal success.
