The month of September has been very busy for the students and teachers.  We began with "Meet the Teacher" Night and will end with Friday Night Bingo. 

The students have acclimated to their classrooms and Grades 1 through 8 will receive their first Progress Report today! 

Please note Progress Reports are given half way through a quarter. Please sign and return progress reports to your child's teacher by Monday, October 2nd. Some grades have already changed because teachers have added grades in since they were printed.  Please schedule a conference with a teacher if you have any questions concerning a grade.
