Monday, September 14th = DAY 6

Tuesday, September 15th = DAY 1

Wednesday, September 16th = DAY 2 (Picture Day)

Thursday, September 17th = DAY 3 (Curriculum Night)

Friday, September 18th = DAY 4

I thought it would be wonderful to share a special moment with you - one that I hope you will share with your families this weekend, or even sometime next week.

We began the day with a special morning announcement commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11th, 2001. We asked everyone to make today a Day to Unite for Good. We asked our students and staff to join the movement to do a good deed for someone, in hopes of making our community a better place. We hope our students experience firsthand how even the smallest acts of kindness can make a meaningful and lasting impact.

I wish everyone a wonderful weekend and we look forward to seeing you at Curriculum Night next Thursday, September 17th @ 6pm.

-Beth

What is Peer Leadership?

Information regarding peer leadership will be announced & available to students next week. 

Please reach out to the Peer Leadership advisors with any questions: -

To promote student learning and mental health, and to reduce distractions during the school day, cell phones/smart watches and other non-school authorized electronic devices may not be used at any time during school hours. Limiting device use helps create a more focused learning environment and can improve students’ well-being by reducing social media usage during the school day.

If a parent/guardian chooses to send their child to school with a cell phone/smartwatch or other non-school authorized electronic device, it must be turned off and stored in the student’s backpack or locker.

Any cell phone/smart watch or non-school authorized device seen or used during the school day will be confiscated by staff, and parents/guardians will be notified. The device will be returned to the student at the end of the day.

Repeated violations will result in the device being held in the office until a parent/guardian meets with administration to pick it up.

When it is necessary to get an important message to your child during the school day, please call the main office and leave a message with the school secretary.

8th Grade students will enter the building at Door 21 (middle of building)

7th Grade students will enter the building at Door 22 (band and drama hallway)

6th Grade Students will enter the building at Door 17 (at the end of the building)

Any student getting breakfast will enter the building via the main lobby.

Dismissal Process: For the safety and efficiency of dismissal, we have outlined the following procedures:

1. Walkers and Pick-Up: Students who walk home or are being picked up will be dismissed first. This will help ease congestion and ensure a smooth transition for these students.

2. Bus Riders: Students who have a seat on a bus will be dismissed by bus. Our staff will be on hand to guide students to their designated buses and ensure they board safely.

Reminders:

- PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY, stay alert, and watch carefully for students at all times.

- Please be respectful to all staff members directing traffic.
