Be here day March News Flash

Due to tomorrow's testing day no Permission to Leave Slips will be valid. Because of the need for all administrators to me facilitating testing, all student checkouts will be through in-person checkouts. Email requests will not be checked or honored. Thank you for your understanding of this matter.
Good Evening Eagle Families!
We just want to remind you that tomorrow is our school-wide testing day. Please remind your student to charge their device for school tomorrow and to bring their charger with them to school. All students will be reporting to their Student Development class first thing in the morning.
