Just a reminder that we have a late start on Wednesday, October 4th. Students will start at 9:30am. Safety is a priority in our school. We will be conducting all of our safety drills this week. Students will practice tornado, fire, and lockdown drills. Please partner with us and have conversations at home about listening closely to directions as these drills are important.
