 Our Coaches have really been putting in overtime lately.  Dan, Kerry, Matt, Bill and Joe all  had games/meets yesterday and more importantly have helped to guide their students in hard work and sportsmanship.  

Please make sure that you finish your online health trainings that are due very soon.

I appreciate the staff that has been working on the Master Schedule Committee and continue to brainstorm ideas that will benefit our students and learning in general.  

Data meetings took place yesterday and once again it was great seeing staff work together to help give students the support they need.  Parental contact and communication is always a vital piece to helping students learn and keeping parents informed of student problems/missing work helps put teachers and parents on the same team to support the students.

Please make sure that you give the office your student roster for clubs.  Also make sure that you have students pay the club fee ($15 although some club sponsors charge more due to club costs)

I will put PTA  membership forms in your mailbox as they may not have been given them earlier in year as I thought.
