Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
I would like to congratulate Nicole Hall on being elected to fill our vacant community governing board position. Pending approval from our governing board, she will be seated at our next regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, November 15. I would like to thank both Jerry Lancaster and Susanna Valencia Martin for submitting their names for consideration. Our community is the beating heart of our charter and I am grateful for everyone who participated in this election.
Don’t forget to turn your clocks back this weekend for daylight savings. We hope all our students and families enjoy the extra hour of sleep and show up on Monday ready to learn!
Have an awesome weekend!
Rah! Rah! Cougars!
