Reminder about student pick up:
Thanks for a great first week and using the Frontline app and your child’s assigned entrances. It was great to have them here!! We appreciate your reminding your students to bring their charged computer, snack, and water bottle.
If you are picking up a student at Exit 3 on Borel Ave, please meet you child west or east of the Sam Trans bus signs. We need to keep the bus areas clear so busses can pull up. Thanks!

Successful Virtual Cultural Fair was held last week.
We had about 21 students show up, and the presentation of the slides was a massive success! The students who attended were all actively engaged. After the slideshow (each student presented their respective slide), students participated in a Kahoot. As always, with Kahoots, all of the students were really into it!
