Unified Basketball THIS Wednesday (please read)
For those of you that don’t know what Unified Basketball is, it is a program for our Center Based students to play basketball against our other Center Based basketball teams at the other schools. The students play with peers on the floor to create access to playing sports. Our last game of the season is THIS Wednesday vs. Powell and we would love to see a big show of support for our athletes! Please come and root on our team and bring signs and be loud! We would love to really rally around our students and make them feel the love!! See you there! It will end around 5pm, if you can coordinate for your child to stay and cheer!!

STUCO
Thank you for all of the Val-o-Grams and encourage your chid to stop by Mrs. Jenkins room (1133) if a purchased item was missed today. Happy Valentines Day! Look forward to more from Stuco in March.
Picking your child up early… What to do???
Just a friendly reminder that if you are going to pick your child up during the school day, PLEASE CALL AHEAD. If you have an appt at 3pm, call long before then. It can take upwards of 15 minutes to get your child to the office if you just show up without alerting us ahead of time.
Some options:
Call the attendance line
Put it in the parent portal in the morning
Call the main office line
Remember that you being in a rush does not mean we will be able to find them any faster.
7th Grade Girls Volleyball
7th Volleyball meeting will be Thursday, February 27 during lunch.
