Friday’s dismissal bell kicked off winter recess! There will be no classes this Monday, February 17, through Friday, February 21. I hope everyone enjoys their time off, whether going on a vacation or staying home and recharging. Classes will resume on Monday, February 24.

Second Quarter Recognitions
Our Middle School and High School students were recognized for their academic and attendance achievements at building assemblies this week. Certificates were awarded for attendance, merit and honor roll along with student of the quarter and Top Notch Tiger. These students have demonstrated exceptional dedication and the ability to put forth their best effort. We celebrate their accomplishments as they continue to set a high standard for academic and future success. Keep up the great work!
