Hornet Families,

We are now heading into week 7 of this school year! This upcoming week we have a PTO meeting to plan for the Fall Festival on Thursday, October 12th at 6:00 in the cafeteria or you can join virtually using the link below.

Our CandyMan fundraiser will end tomorrow, October 9th! Please return all order forms and money to your student's homeroom teacher!

As we approach the end of the first grading period, your student's teacher will be reaching out (if they have not already done so) to schedule a time to meet and discuss your student's current progress so far this year. If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's teacher.

Please read through the information in the newsletter below and let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for your support,

Dr. Allen M. Wilson

Principal
