Good Evening Wildcat Families,
It is hard to believe that we are already at the end of the first nine weeks. The school year is flying by and it is critical that all students are on time and present for school.
Remember if your child is out that you need to submit an absence note using the link on the school website to upload your note. All students should be in class by 7:50. Help us make the car rider line run smoothly in the morning by making sure your child is prepared to unload by being unbuckled, and having their bookbag/lunchbox in hand. If you need to change your child’s transportation information for the day, please be sure to complete the transportation change form on the school website prior to 2pm. If you are picking up your child in the car rider line please make sure you have your car rider tag displayed. All students should be picked up by 3:00.
This week is Red Ribbon Week.
