Good Afternoon Timberwolf Families,

It has been tradition for parents of 8th graders to organize the 8th grade dance, scheduled to be held on June 13th. At this time, we have not heard of anyone stepping up to chair or help organize this dance to honor our 8th graders. If you are able to help, please contact the school and let us know you can help so we can get you in contact with each other, so the 8th graders can enjoy this wonderful tradition.

Upcoming Testing Schedules for May

***Important information from Attendance during our TESTING PERIOD***

If you know your student will need to leave school early, please have your student bring a signed note to the Attendance office first thing in the morning, stating what time they will be picked up. Attendance will have a dismissal slip sent prior to that time, to reduce disruption to the testing environment. Thank you for your understanding.
