Greetings Cougar Families!

November is already here! It is hard to believe that November is upon us, and we are rocking and rolling toward the end of the first semester. We want to make sure we are continuing our ALL DAY , EVERYDAY , COUGARS!!!! Attendance is the number 1 priority in student success! Please continue to make every effort to have your student here EVERYDAY!! Our goal is for all of our students to show Academic Growth this year, and we want to reward those who do! 

PLEASE stay up to speed with your student's success in the classroom. We have after-school help available for those students who are getting behind and need a little extra support! We have incentives for those students who come and put in the time that it takes to be successful. We have transportation Monday -Thursday and the program runs 4:15-5:15! Please let us help your students to maximize their potential and show that academic growth!

Thank you for being part of the Cougar Family and thank you for your support!

PS.. Do not forget about our Cougar Color Run this Friday 5:00-7:00pm!!!

We understand that many families rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

To help, the district has compiled a Local Food Pantry Resource Guide detailing nearby food pantries, including their days and hours of operation.

Please consider donating items for those who may need some extra help this time of year.
