From the Principal: Spring Break is just around the corner and so is testing. The ARMT+ Testing Dates are April 10th - 13th for BOTH 7th and 8th grades.  Please make sure that doctor’s or dentist’s appointments are not scheduled during this time.  Students cannot be called out of their classrooms for check-out during testing. Please make sure that during this time your student gets plenty of rest, arrives on time to school and eats a good breakfast each day. With your help, the students will be prepared and will do their best on the test.

When a student is sick they must go to the nurse. They cannot use their personal cell phones to call or text home. They are given a pass from the teacher to go to the nurse and the nurse will call you if the student needs to go home.
