Good afternoon Bobcats,

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a restful Martin Luther King, Jr. day. If we need a remote day due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, ensure Chromebooks are working at home. If there are issues that prevent this, please let me know. 

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.
