Hello Parents, thank you for your support with our students wearing their appropriate uniform, having their student ID, and there has been a decrease in class to class tardies.

Morning Parents, we are starting to see many students not getting to class on time or following our school dress code. We will be holding random uniform and tardy sweeps for which starting consequences will be to serve in school lunch detention. Your support is greatly appreciated to prevent your son/daughter from having any disciplinary consequences.

Hello Parents,

We hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable Labor Day weekend! As we return to school, we are asking for your support in reinforcing a few important expectations that help us maintain a safe, respectful, and learning-focused environment for all students.

We have recently noticed an increase in students bringing candy, chewing gum, and caffeinated/energy drinks to school. We have also experienced situations where students become defiant or disrespectful when redirected by staff regarding these items. Please remind your child that following staff directions respectfully.

Please help us by reviewing your child's backpack and ensuring they bring only the materials and items needed for learning. Snacks that are not part of a student's individual lunch brought from home may be confiscated and disposed of by school administration. We also encourage every student to bring a refillable water bottle each day so they can stay hydrated throughout the school day.

We also ask families to review student attire before leaving for school. Shorts and skirts should be an appropriate length for the school environment. Your support at home helps us minimize distractions and allows our staff and students to remain focused on teaching and learning.

Finally, attendance matters! Every school day and every class period are important. Please help us encourage students to be present, arrive at school on time, and report to every class on time.

Thank you, Cobra Families, for partnering with us and reinforcing these expectations at home.
