This week marks the final week of the 1st quarter. Make sure your student is current on all assignments, projects and tests before grades are finalized! Don’t forget to check out the latest Eagle Eye edition for the weekly schedule and upcoming dates. School will operate as normal this Thursday, October 31st. Please be aware, we do not participate in Halloween costume dress up during the school day. In the evening on October 31st, we encourage every family to come in costume for the Harvest Festival (see below for details)! Unless a teacher has planned a special activity, the school day on Halloween will be normal dress code expectations.
You will also want to pay special attention to the early release times for Friday’s half day this week. All elementary (1st-6th) students will be dismissed at 11:45 AM and all secondary (7th-12th) students will be dismissed at 12:00 PM.
Some additions and updates have been made to the School Calendar. You can always find the most up-to-date version (updated as of 10/24/24) on our website under resources & links!
