Gifted and Talented News

The Gifted and Talented Program has lots happening in the next few weeks for students and families alike. Please read their Spring Newsletter to learn about summer opportunities, department news and resources!

Uniform Reminder

Guardians, please help us finish the school year in style. Students are required to wear their uniforms at school. Students should be in uniform EVERY day unless otherwise noted by their teacher (Ex.: spirit week, etc). Uniforms consist of a navy blue polo shirt with khaki or dark blue pants. Black pants are not allowed. We’ve seen an increase of students coming to school without their uniform. When students do not wear their uniform, they are required to come to the main office and change, ultimately taking away from their time in the classroom. Please help us and your student by ensuring students are wearing their uniform every day.
