All of our students seem to be settling in to their new routines. Progress reports were sent out the week of September 26th and the end of the first grading period is rapidly approaching. We look forward to the upcoming months and ask that you keep up all the hard work and effort you have put in so far. As a reminder to parents, emergency contact information needs to be up to date and on file with the main office. A majority of our school correspondence comes through so make sure we have corrected addresses on file as well.
