Character dare
During these few weeks of school, we want our students to be principled in their school work, with family, and friends. We are working with our middle school students on their digital citizenship by talking about safety when chatting online, as well as the amount of time they spend on digital media of any kind.
We continue working on Cornell Notes with our 8th graders to further develop their academic tool bag.
Our goal is for students to act with integrity at school, at home, and everywhere they go, and for them to try do their best in everything they do!

Morning Drop Off
We are asking all drivers to model being principled and to use the drop off lane in the mornings and not park to let your student walk from the parking lot. Our lines have been moving faster and you should be out of the parking lot in no time!
This will also help our ever so congested parking lot in the mornings.
A note: when drivers park in a numbered spot, they are preventing a student driver or staff member from getting to school in a timely manner.
