PRINCIPALS MESSAGE The month of September is National Library Card sign up month. We encourage you to sign your child up for a library card at your local public library. Books that your child checks out at a public library are testable in our AR labs. Attendance is very important. Students miss out on vital instruction when they are absent from school. We will be having a variety of incentives for students on a weekly and monthly basis for those who come to school every day. Please send students to school on time every day. This week our culture lessons are focusing on: accepting no for an answer, the core value: No Excuses, and IDEA 20: when a substitute is present, show extra cooperation. Parents who would like to volunteer to help at school must fill out the background check before they can volunteer. This includes when parents are chaperones on field lessons. Now is a great time to have this filled out and completed.

Simply the Best!
