I can't believe FALL is here and we are moving into October. It has been a good start and students seem to be settled in to their routines and procedures.
On that same note they are also trying to push the limits on things they are doing or not doing. Please remind your students when they are eating lunch they should show the same respect as if they were at home. Also a daily reminder to follow the rules and make good decisions and have positive attitudes.
Students are working on Social Emotional Lessons in their classrooms and we are trying to continue that throughout the school.
Thank you for your continued support in getting students to school on time and following all the COVID guidelines. Our goal is to have students at school safe and secure so they can attend to what is important.
Thank you and have a wonderful October.
