Snow Clothes

The most wonderful time of the year!!!!  The season of wearing snow pants and boots.

We will have outdoor recess as long as the temperature is about 20 degrees with windshield.

Please be sure to send snow pants and boots so that students can play on the playground.  Students who do not have snow pants and boots will have to stay on the blacktop.

This is a good time to work with your student on INDEPENDENTLY dressing themselves – putting on their own snow pants, boots, hats, mittens and coat.

Be sure to pack your students “indoor” shoes in their backpack.

Thank you!

Digital Bullying Form – From Mrs. DeNeen

A note from our Principal, Mrs. DeNeen:

A number of our middle schools are trying to use a new style form to have a digital form to report concerns about school. It may include bullying situations or just something that they were concerned about. We are going to try to have a form available for you to try! Thank you for your input and support. We always want everyone to feel safe at school and safe to report a problem. Have a great day!
