Spring Food Drive

Student Council is happy to announce that we have partnered with Neighbor’s Inc. again for a Spring Food Drive. All students are encouraged to participate and donate! Donations will be collected in advisory classes until next Friday March 23rd. Students who donate 5 items will earn a free hall pass or a free open gym pass as a thank you for donating.

 

Spring is an extra special time to donate as Food Shelves are in high need this season and all donations will be matched by state organizations for the month of March. Therefore, your donations make twice the impact!

 

High need items include rice, pasta, spices, diapers and wipes, shampoo and toothpaste, toilet paper and breakfast items such as cereal, pancake mix and oatmeal.

 

Please bring food items to your advisory classes. Large bins are in the front main office.

Summer Academy

Summer Academy invitations were mailed or handed out in late January. If you are looking for your child to attend Middle School Summer Academy you should register them by March 23rd in order to ensure the more optimal bus route. Bussing, breakfast and lunch are all included in Summer Academy for free. Summer Academy will run Mondays-Thursdays only from 7:20-11:40am each day.  Students can receive support in math, reading, English and science, as well as social skills support from a counselor or our Habits of Mind class.  Questions or registration information is available from Jessica Hallin at [email protected].

 

 

 

Attendance information 

Attendance at school is very important to a student’s success. We realize that at times students must miss school. If your child is going to miss school please call the attendance line as soon as possible at 651-306-7878 and leave a message with your child’s name and grade. If a student misses 2 or more days we can request make-up work.

* If you are picking your child up from school early, please send a note with your child to the office in the morning. It can be a distraction to the class if we have to quickly get a child out of class.  Thank you for your understanding!

 

 

An Important Reminder for all students & parents…

All students must be accompanied by an adult in order to attend any home athletic events. This includes all middle school events as well as any high school events. We will turn students away at the door if they are not with an adult. Please know that a parent cannot just drop a student off for the night. They must buy a ticket and be in attendance during the event.
