Just 2 more weeks 'til the end of the quarter!  Great job with our safety drills last week! We feel you are now prepared to handle any emergencies we may face at the school.  
Picture Day is this week, Thursday!  You do not need to wear your uniform but make sure that your clothes meet all requirements of our dress code policy.
On Friday, we will have visitors to the campus, including our Complex Area Superintendent, Mr. Tajima, who may be in your classrooms.  Please be polite and welcoming, however, this should not disrupt your learning. Keep working on what you are doing, but answer any questions they may have for you about what you are learning.
Have a great week!
