Important Information
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter break.
This is a great time to replenish pencils. Please check with your child. Many students do not have extra pencils, and they really need them to do their work.
Please make sure that your child brings a water bottle to school everyday. Students should also make sure that their Chromebooks are fully charged.
All instruments need to come to school on lesson days and on Tuesdays and Fridays (band rehearsal day). Please check your student’s email for the current schedule.
