Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms, grandmothers, aunties, fur moms and mother figures who guide us each and every day of our lives. Your sacrifices are numerous and we appreciate all you do!

This is a big week for our seniors. Only 4 days of school left! Please see important information about this week's events below.

We will continue testing this week with two days of modified schedule. Tuesday we will test US History and Biology, and Friday begins underclassmen CFE's (Common Final Exams). Please be sure your student is on time and has studied!

ATTENTION!

Student IDs are required to be displayed while on campus. Please clip your student id to your backpack at all times. If you lost your ID please go to the media center before or after school to get a new one. Replacement IDs are $5. We have had many students now in compliance with this important safety matter. We want to be sure that our students are safe on campus!
 

Please review safety reminders!

Please DO NOT drop students off in the staff parking lot or pull into the mobility spaces to drop students off. There are several suggestions below for avoiding the back-up in the mornings. The mobility spaces are reserved for our students with mobility needs and the reserved spaces are for our Little Falcons parents. Please take the time to safely drop off your student in the drop off lane.





 Continued reminders for parents and students about our parking lot:

  • If you need to pick up your student between 7:30 am-2:20 pm, you must park and walk in the front office. Please do not park in the fire lane.
  • Parking near the front office is marked for mobility, reserved- for parents of Little Falcons and pick-up outside of the regular hours. Please park there when coming inside the front office. 
  • Please do not line up for afternoon dismissal prior to 1:45 pm. It causes traffic congestion, and we already have enough of that.
  • I recommend dropping your student off early, courtyard doors open at 6:45 to avoid morning traffic.
  • I recommend coming about 2:30 pm if you are picking up in the afternoon if you want to avoid the rush of traffic and buses leaving the property.

Thank you for helping us keep our students and faculty safe by adhering to speed limits of 10 mph and following all traffic cones, barricades, and signs in the parking lot. 
 

SOAR REWARDS- Remind your student to check their points!

Our SOAR store for positive student behaviors has been a big hit! Our students truly are following our SOAR behaviors and we are proud to recognize them. Please consider donating to help us reward our students. Ask you student how many positive SOAR points they have.

Thank you to all who have donated so far!
