Good evening!

As we wind down and ease our way into this last week and a half of school before Thanksgiving Break, I would like to remind you of our protocol for after school pick-up. Students are to be picked up from the far lot. No cars are to park and wait in the fire lane. When cars are parked along the JETPAC, our students trying to leave the near parking lot are unable to squeeze between waiting cars and parked cars. For the safety of our students driving and walking to the far lot, please do not park in the fire lane. If you prefer to pick up your student(s) from the school, please do so after 3:15 pm. By that time most cars will have vacated the parking lot and traffic on Poplar should be back to normal.

In cash raffle news, we are at 53% of our sales goal. In order for the students to receive a dress down week, we need to reach 90%. Please remember that this year's Cash Raffle supports our Panther Fund. Your participation in this fundraiser provides opportunities for all of our students. It is quick and easy! Share your link with friends and family via email and social media. Remember to ask faculty and staff to buy a ticket, we like to win money too!

Keep the ripple going,

Annie Cunningham

Poplar Street Construction

Please continue to drive with caution when entering and exiting the far lot. Students, please do not park along the fence, those spots are for parents to use to pick up their students after school. Also, remember to not park along Poplar, since the entrance has now been moved and cars are entering through that area.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Drive safely!
