March 24, 2016

  • Spring break will  begin with a 221 Dismissal TODAY!  Students will return on 4/4.
  • Just a few reminders for parents as we will continue to enforce these expectations when we return from break.
  1. Cell phone use is allowed during passing periods and lunch.  Students should use the phone in the office to call home.  Students should not have their phones out during class OR in the hallways during class periods.
  2. Backpacks and purses are to carry books and belongings to and from school.  Backpacks and purses should remain in lockers or in homerooms during the school day.
  3. Parents please help us make sure you student is dressed appropriately for school.  The biggest issue we will run into is shorts (should be past fingertips), leggings (bottom must be covered), and tank tops (shoulders must be covered).
