Message from the Principal Cory Families, Thank you to all the families who attended conferences! It is such a wonderful time to partner together to improve the outcomes for all students.  We will be offering a parent education night about how to respond to bullying on Oct. 30th at 4:00.  We are so excited to share our policy and how families can partner to support students.  Please RSVP for this event. Interpretation services will be available.  This month’s words are emulate, foliage, decorously, luxuriate.

I hope everyone has a wonderful long break! We will see everyone back on Tuesday!
