Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
We hope you have all had a nice short week.
I would like to give a shout out to The Steele Regiment that competed at the Westview field tournament yesterday where they took home another first place. This makes them undefeated for the regular season! Wish them luck as they travel up to Corona on Saturday for prelims in their toughest competition to date!
Next Friday, November 17 is the end of the Q2 progress reports. This is usually a time when a lot of deadlines and tests coincide. Please check in with your students about their learning and offer them all the love and encouragement they need to do their best.
We hope you enjoy a safe and happy weekend. Please take a moment to thank a veteran for their service and reflect on the sacrifices that past and current veterans are making so we can do what we do everyday.
Rah! Rah! Cougars!
