students will achieve at high levels in reading comprehension, prepared for
success beyond high school.
● We will be testing the district emergency procedures at
pre-arranged times over the next two weeks.
These tests will take place after students have left for the day. Review the procedures. Our job as adults is to remain calm ---
convey a feeling of confidence and security to our students. I know you will each do just that. Thank you.

Mr. Hill to complete the training.

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.
