Locker Clean Up and Lost and Found

Students will be cleaning out their lockers/cubbies this week so send them with an extra bag. The lost and found will be bagged and donated to charity on Wednesday, so there’s still a couple of days to check and reclaim some lost items.

Student Safety

The mornings are dark and winter has arrived with slippery road conditions and low visibility that can make for a safety an issue. Please:

• Take extra time
• Use crosswalks and look both ways
• Do not drop off in staff parking lot
• Obey traffic rules, stop at stop signs, no U Turns, and follow posted speed limits
