Good afternoon!
I wanted to ensure that our families were aware of our 1:00 PM dismissals on Tuesday, October 22nd, and Thursday, October 24th.
We will have just one lunch period on these two days, which will be served starting at 12:30 (after our 8th-period class). Lunch will be a grab-and-go option. Students who drive or are picked up by a parent/guardian may leave starting at 12:30 from their designated areas.
Bus riders will be able to stay and eat lunch before getting on their bus to head home.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
PTC will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 22 and Thurs. Oct. 24 from 3-8pm. Please use the link to get signed up. We look forward to seeing lots of faces in the building those days!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am reaching out to bring to your attention a concerning trend that has recently emerged among our students and students across the country, particularly relating to the social media platform TikTok.
We have become aware that some students are participating in a trend of removing Nike Elite tags from their peers' backpacks. This behavior not only violates respect for their peers but also violates our student expectations.
As parents and guardians, your involvement is crucial in addressing this issue. We encourage you to have open discussions with your children about the impact of their actions and the importance of respecting others' property.
To support this, our school will reinforce our policies on respectful behavior and work with students to promote a positive school culture. We appreciate your partnership in guiding our students to make thoughtful choices.
I have attached a copy of what the backpack tags look like.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
