PLEASE remember to drop students off at the drop-off point at the North end of the parking lot. DO NOT let students out in the roundabout - it is DANGEROUS!!! We understand mornings are busy, but keeping students safe should be everyone's priority. Questions? Please contact Ashley Prince.

Students! Please use the CROSSWALKS to access the building. The parking lot is a busy place, and we do not want to risk any drivers not seeing you in time. Be Aware, have one ear headphone-free, and use the crosswalks - We want you to get here safely! Thank you all for putting student safety first!

School pictures are in! Students may pick up their photos at the Bookstore. Please contact Mrs. Schauerhamer if you have any questions.

Dear Families,

We’re going to Japan this summer, and you’re invited!

We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner.

Please be sure to register for this info session provided on September 11th  at 6:00pm to be considered for this opportunity: https://rsvp.eftours.com/53msxvz

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

In this info session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your student
• What we’ll see and do on our trip
• Everything that’s included in this experience
• How your child can earn academic credit
• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
• How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period

There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!

Thanks,

Mr. Mesh
