Hello everyone,
I hope you had a restful spring break! As we enter the final stretch of the school year, here are a few important reminders:
Shorts are now allowed, but they must be school-appropriate: khaki or black in color, with no spandex or biker shorts.
State testing begins Monday, May 5th. An adjusted schedule will be shared later this week.
If you’ve been sleeping in, it’s time to reset those alarms—PD1 starts promptly at 8:20 AM.
Thanks, and enjoy your day!
