Hello Parents, This morning, our campus conducted an evacuation due to an alarm that went off in the cafeteria. There was no fire reported, but as a safety precaution, we evacuated all students and staff. The Somerton Fire Department quickly arrived and assisted us in assessing the area. Once they confirmed that everything was safe, students returned to class and continued their normal school day.

Hello Parents,

Today we spoke with our students about not bringing aerosol deodorant sprays or glass cologne bottles to school. These items have caused some disruptions and also present safety concerns. We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that students leave these items at home to help us maintain a safe and distraction-free learning environment.

Thank you for your partnership and have a great weekend!
