Elementary Half day of school on Friday 11/8 and No School on Monday 11/11 due to Veterans Day (Note- we are moving home-school communication to Parent Square. Future Half Day announcements and reminders will no longer be posted to Facebook and instead posted to Parent Square. )
On November 7 and 8 elementary students in grades 1-6 will have a brief firearm safety presentation.
The Eddie Eagle gun safety program teaches children to say "Stop! Don't Touch! Leave the Area! Tell an Adult!" if they see a gun:
• Stop: Avoid the temptation to touch the gun and the risk of it being fired accidentally
• Don't touch: Avoid touching the gun
• Leave the area: Move away from the gun
• Tell an adult: Inform an adult of the gun's presence
Tonight's playoff volleyball game vs CLV starts at 5:00pm!
No homework helpers today. Have a fun and safe Halloween. Thank you.
