WOW! BOOM! BAM! We success-fully completed our first 9 weeks of the school year! Students’ grades were vis-ible to parents on Powerschool during the first week of fall break. Students received paper copies of report cards earlier this week. Each student received a PRIDE grade as their conduct grade. We want every student to strive to earn a 2 by not only being on their BEST be-havior, but also by working to exceed and excel in all areas. If you need a copy of the PRIDE rubric or more infor-mation on how your student can im-prove their PRIDE grade, please contact your child’s teacher or discuss at the up-coming parent conferences on Nov. 7th.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES!

We will be sending a paper home this week to schedule parent conferences on November 7th. Please return the paper with your time preferences marked and we will do our best to accommodate you. This will be the only conference day scheduled by the corporation so it is very important we meet with 100% of our parents!
