We are excited to offer a new school day activity: Tutoring Tuesdays. Our school will begin a tutoring opportunity on Tuesday, Jan. 26 and continue each Tuesday for each class period. Teachers will utilize 30 minutes per class period on Tuesdays to host tutoring, remediation, enrichment or time to make up or complete independent work. You will need to remain in your assigned class. You will not be able to leave to go to another classroom for help.

***IMPORTANT***
The 2020-2021 dress code has had a modification. We are notifying you now of the change so you have time over the summer to ensure your child has appropriate clothing items for the school setting and meeting the new dress code expectation. All clothing should extend beyond the mid-thigh when the shoulders are relaxed. Clothing is not limited to but may include the following: shorts, skirts, dresses, holes in jeans, and tops for form-fitting pants/shorts/leggings. Please refer to the handbook for school expectations about other dress code expectations and discipline. We hope the communication before the school year will help families as they purchase clothing over the summer.
