Here you and your child can find homework, important information, videos, Friday Snack, parent and student links, and MORE Let’s take a look!

Attendance is important! It is important that your child comes to school each and every day well rested and ready to learn. Regular attendance is critical for your child to achieve to his/her highest potential! Academic learning takes placed all day, every day, and students who arrive late, leave early, or are absent miss valuable instruction time.

If your child is absent it is his/her responsibility to get with me to work on what they missed. It is best they get caught up as soon as possible I am available on Monday and Wednesday before school from 8:00-8:30 I am available on Thursday from 3:00-3:30 after school (Monday same time once conferences are over)

We have not received our official planners yet. Students have a planner sheet in their BEE books They are Blue these next 2 weeks Student planners should be signed daily AFTER your child completest his/her homework

Go home every Monday (or beginning of the week) Contain graded work and flyers Please: Check your student’s planner Check parent portal Check the website for updates THEN sign Folders should be returned the NEXT day
