Information for Faculty and Staff
Please help us to educate students on R-1 reclaimed water.  A presentation is available for you to review and familiarize yourself with the water irrigation system.  You may share this with students as well.  
Our parent parking lot has been working well with mostly positive feedback from parents!  We hope you have noticed improvement in being able to find parking.  Please provide feedback to Mindy or Daryl.  With the parent activities coming in the next couple of weeks, this should help out as well.
December has sure kept us all busy!  
Hang in there these last 2 weeks before break!
