● Parent-Teacher Conferences will be Tuesday, October 28 and Thursday, October 30. We will accept nothing less than 100% participation from each family. If they miss their appointment, be sure to call and schedule another meeting. Parent involvement is vital to the success of children.

● ALL students will remain in the bleachers at the football game either sitting with parents or with friends. Students will only be allowed out of the bleachers when going to the concession stand, the restroom or directly with their parents. Adults may be along the fence cheering but all K-8 students will be in the bleachers. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
