Greetings families,
We finally had a rain free weekend! I hope you enjoyed it. Students had a great time on Wednesday at our Career Fair. They were engaged and asked great questions. Please see below for updates for the week ahead. As always, I appreciate your ongoing support.
Student Dress
Students are expected to be in uniform each day. Students can dress down on Thursday and Friday only if they have paid for the pass. Thank you for your support with this!
Teacher Appreciation Week
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week! Please be sure to send your child’s teacher a note of thanks this week for all of their hard work throughout the school year. Our PTA will sponsor events throughout the week, but your words will mean a lot to our staff.
Spring Concert-This Tuesday
Our band and orchestra students have worked hard this year and will showcase their talents this Tuesday for our Spring Concert. The show starts promptly at 6:30.
Progress Reports
Progress reports were distributed last week. Please contact your child’s counselor if you would like to set up a conference.
Reports
This week your child will receive the results from the Panorama Survey that was administered in March. This report will give you additional information on your child’s social-emotional development.
