Dismissal times are: K 11:40, 1st-3rd 11:50, 4th-5th 12:10, 6th-8th 12:40. There will be no after-school bus service tomorrow for all grade levels. Fall Break is 10/7-10/14.
To keep the flow of traffic going:
Do not park or leave your car unattended in the loading zones along the school curb, use a parking space. Pull up when staff asks. K-3 pick-up is at the loop. 4-8 pick-up is in front of the school, do not block the K-3 loop area. Thank you for your cooperation.
Due to the projected heat, Wednesday’s Running Club will take place before school at 7:40 instead of after school. Reminder that, we are a closed campus. If families would like to watch their student during Running Club, the viewing area is along the chain link fence on Live Oak Ave. not inside campus.
Progress Reports went home with all students. If your student does not have one, please contact your student's teacher.

***For our middle school students who came through registration on Tuesday, 7/30, the wrong class schedules were handed out. Those students will need to pick up the correct schedules either in the office prior to school starting or they can pick them up in the morning on the first day of school.
