Items for donation include things like: Canned fruit vegetables, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, coffee/tea, juice, hot cocoa, dessert mixes, etc. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

From Last Week
Checking Grades in PowerSchool
Access Your Child’s Grades in PowerSchool is a helpful video link. As you will see in the video, not every grade has a comment attached, and grades are updated on a regular basis every few weeks. There are also other Helpful Links for PowerSchool found on our website.

Veterans Day
Do you have a family member in the military? November 11th is Veterans Day and we are looking for family members that have served, or are currently serving, in the military. In addition to a paper copy being sent home, attached you will find two (2) forms, one for a veteran and the other is for a current soldier. Please fill it out and return to school by November 1st. We will be displaying all of these on our Wall of Honor in the gym lobby. Thank you for being a part of this school-wide activity to honor our veterans and current active military members!
