Hello Parents, tomorrow and Tuesday will be our last two days of state testing. We kindly ask that you ensure our Cobras get a good night sleep, advise them to have a good breakfast at home or at school, and ensure they make it on time to school to ensure they test in their usual testing environment. Please refrain from picking them up from school these next two day, once students begin the assessment they must submit before leaving campus as they only have one opportunity. Students may wear school appropriate casual clothes and are encouraged to bring wire headphones to use.

Hello Parents, please take 2 minutes to review and answer this final uniform survey of the preferred options by both parents and students. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfsRk_lZ86Y4bwFy1MjG89HkxgIqPb-gGDv3yJIebtqndxx2w/viewform?usp=dialog

Good morning Parents, over spring break several families reached out to ask for an extension on the second order of the 8th grade class shirts. The last day to order $20 will be this Friday, April 10, 2026 and must be paid at our front office by students/parents. Cap & gown photos will be taken on April 23, 2026 during school and our last informational meeting for promotion will be Wednesday, April 15, 2026 starting at 5:30pm.

Hello Parents, tomorrow we continue with state testing and our Cobras will be taking on their writing assessment. Please ensure they have a good night sleep, encourage them to eat a good breakfast either at home or at school, and please ensure they get to school on time to avoid any disruption to their testing time. Please refrain from picking up students early, students only have one opportunity to take their assessment once they open their test. If students fail to complete their writing assessment, the state will not provide them with an ELA score. Students may wear school appropriate casual wear tomorrow. Thank you for your support and understanding!
