  • Picture day for on-campus and e-learning students (We will also have a make day if you are unable to have your e-learner participate on Tuesday). Please sign up on our website link.
  • Please ensure you have your student complete their required progress monitoring assessment for both on campus and e-learners (Parents who have students on site do not have to complete anything for this. Parents with e-learners will need to ensure that you register your student for their progress monitoring math assessment only. E-learners may participate with Reading plus progress monitoring online.
  • We are coming up to mid-point progress (4.5 weeks) on September 23rd. If your students are missing assignments in FOCUS, please reach out to your child's teacher and ensure all work is submitted. Teachers will be reaching out as well for student academic concerns. Please ensure that your students are caught up on assignments.
