IMPORTANT-- Community Update Phase out

In an attempt to streamline all school communications, the PTA and Principal Norris will be combining their newsletters. The community updated will be phased out and all information will be included in the PTA Newsletter. If you currently do not subscribe to the PTA newsletter you can do so by registering here. A message will still be sent out with the link to the PTA newsletter (see last weeks news here) for your convenience and ease of access, but it is always available via our school website. If necessary, any important district messages will be sent as stand alone messages.
