Good afternoon Bobcats,
I hope everyone fared well through our first snowfall in years. Please remember that Monday, January 20th school is closed for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. Use that day to reflect on service through the life and legacy of Dr. King. We are starting the first part of the second semester strong. Things can only go up from here!
Have a great week!
Michael
Traffic Pattern Change
To ensure the safety of all of our students during afternoon dismissal, we will be implementing the traffic pattern below. There is only one entry into the afternoon car line. All students will exit at the designated area. All parents from the car line will exit by the dumpsters. Officer Huffman will be at his same location and will enforce that being a student exit only. Please follow the arrows below, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or Officer Huffman.
Drivers Education
We will have our next Driver's Education class from February 3rd through February 21st. If you are interested in signing up, here is the link. If you have any questions, please contact Michael Brown.
