September 26-30 - College Go Week

If you are not familiar with it, this a week designated for our school to promote college/career awareness
for our students. Students will be hearing more details during morning announcements each day! We will have some
spirit wear days during the week. Keep an eye on your students agenda book for more details.
October 6 - D.A.R.E. field trip
The field trip is to the F.O.P. camp. The cost of the trip is $2.00, and students need to purchase a sack
lunch or bring a sack lunch. Lunches should be disposable. Students should also wear weather-appropriate clothing.
Please check the forecast for the day.
Just a reminder, now that we are in full swing, all cars must have a dash tag to pick students up after school. Cars
without dash tags will be sent around to park and go into the school office with identification to pick their students
up.
