PRINCIPAL’S PAWSE
Congratulations to all of the students who have worked so hard and earned
top grades in behavior, work/study skills, and academics. I'm proud of the
students who have improved over the last nine weeks, as well! We will
celebrate student achievement at a special assembly on Wednesday, the 22nd.
Specific times are listed on the back of the newsletter. Keep up the great
work!
MRS. OLK’S CORNER
We are still having an excessive number of tardy students every morning.
Tardiness is very disruptive to both your own child and his/her whole
class. Please make every effort to have your child at school on time each
day. If they are late, they must report to the office before going to class.
