SCHOOL NEWS...
TOMORROW EVENING, School Open House & PAC BBQ, Thursday, Sep. 19th:
Dear Parents/Guardians: My staff and I are looking forward to connecting with all of you Thursday evening from 5:00-6:00 pm at our School Open House. Open House is a wonderful opportunity to meet your child's teacher, connect with Ms. Meausette and me (we will be in the library from 6:00-7:00 to answer any questions) and perhaps enjoy a Red Barn BBQ dinner available from 5:30-7:30 in the gym. As the Open House is not ideal for a student progress meeting with the teacher, please address any concerns regarding your child (academic or social) in a private meeting scheduled at another time.
Thank you for your partnership in education. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening!
Sincerely,
ML Heron, Principal
