Our campus security fencing project has a start date of February 28th, which means you and your children will begin to notice the changes I’ve been mentioning all year with drop-off and pick-up patterns and access points to campus. Please pay close attention to construction signs and additional messaging in the coming weeks.

The Week Ahead February 7, 2025
This week we started experimenting with a new initiative to encourage students to get to class on time as well as to combat occurrences of skipping. When students are found to be deliberately tardy or skipping class, they will spend five minutes participating in Earth Patrol on campus. Earth Patrol is geared toward making sure that items that don’t belong in nature are gathered and thrown away.

The Week Ahead January 31, 2025
We have been talking to the student body daily about respecting our school grounds. Food trash, among other garbage, is left in the most odd places throughout the day. We are positive that your children are not allowed to leave garbage all over the place at home, nor are they probably allowed to throw milk and juice at windows and walls, and we would really appreciate that not happening at school as well.
