Individual Picture Day: Tomorrow (Wednesday) is picture day. Students are not required to wear their school uniform, but they should dress up for the day. Friday: This Friday we will begin our normal pattern of wearing our dress uniforms. Sometimes it is tempting to want to slide into the weekend both mentally and physically. By dressing up we want to remind ourselves and each other to finish strong.Elementary

Secondary Back to School Night: This year we are trying something completely different for Secondary Back to School Night.
