Following the announcement of Mr. Merritt's move to Woodrow, we have some important meetings this week, on Tuesday.  To ensure full attention and equitable access, childcare and translation services will be available.  The PTA is providing pizza and drinks for the students.

This is an important time for our school community, and we appreciate your involvement and support.  We hope to see you there.

CCMR Awareness - Military Week

From our Counselors:

As part of our CCMR (College, Career, & Military Ready) exposure, we are highlighting the military as one of several postsecondary options. 

This is strictly for awareness—there is no recruitment involved. 

Below is the plan for Service/Military Week.

Thank you, 

- Ms. McDonald & Ms. Anderson
