A Letter from the Principal Team,

As we look ahead to this Spring, registering our incoming 6th graders, helping our current students register for their next grade levels and helping them make choices they will be happy with, it's amazing how far we've come already! It's a gift to watch our students learn, grow, try new things and come to school each day excited to see their friends and teachers. And, I swear, they grow an inch over each weekend it seems!

Students will be bringing home registration forms today. Please go over those and help your child make some decisions about what classes they want to choose next year. We will be registering students next week, so take some time to talk it over as a family. If you have questions, please feel free to contact your child's counselor.

Basketball season wrapped up this week and our teams did AMAZING! Once again, Pumas are rising to the TOP! Next up is our wrestling season starting on Monday. This is open to all 7th grade students. Practices will be after school.

All day. Every day. Becoming my best self.

Mr. Wicks and Mrs. Fletcher

A note from our Counselors:

Registration Forms for Elective Requests will be sent home on Friday the 9^th for students and parents/guardians to review and complete. Counselors will be going into 6^th & 7^th grade classes next week to have students enter their requests into forms. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your students school counselor.

Please make sure students are checking our lost and found next week for any missing items. We will be donating any remaining items to TEEN CLOSET Friday the 16^th after lunches.

Attendance Note:

If your child is going to be absent, please let us know the accurate reason for the absence. It is OK if your student needs to stay home to rest or have a day with family...we can "parent request" that absence. If you report your student is "severely ill" for the day and then send them to school in the afternoon, it becomes difficult to admit them back into school due to health concerns and germ exposure.

Thank you and as always, let us know if you have any questions!

Attendance line is: 509-824-8500

While leaving our Peperzak parking lot, there may be Mullan Road students walking nearby or staff members coming or going. PLEASE drive slowly and cautiously and watch for pedestrians. Thank you for keeping ALL our kiddos safe!

PLEASE encourage your student to go to the office or health room if they need to make a call or are feeling sick. Students are only allowed to use their cell phones before school starts and during lunch. If they are calling or texting you in the middle of class, ask them if they've checked in with the nurse or the office. That way, we know to expect you if you are planning to pick up your student.

Thank you!
