So many things going on! Spring Conferences, 7th Grade Vball starting up, and all sorts of other things going on over the next three weeks! Also, NO SCHOOL on Friday!!
School Fees
7th and 8th grade students taking PE this semester for the first time have $20-25 fees that have been applied. Additionally, we have many outstanding fees this school year and it would be a great benefit to our school if we could get partial or whole payments asap. We are short over $7000 in fees at this time. If you are having financial troubles, please reach out to Mr. Wyckhuyse via email and he can work with you.

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.
