Lockdown Protocol:
Due to our most recent lockdown, I wanted to re-enforce our procedures for ensuring student safety.  At any point during which we are responsible for your child, (during school hours or during school functions) and an immediate threat may exist to student safety, we are mandated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to hold (“Lock down”) ALL students on campus in secure areas until the threat is gone. We cannot and will not release students to parents until the threat is gone. 

During a lockdown, if you are on campus to pick up or drop off your student, report to the Multi-use room where we will secure you until the threat is neutralized.  Thanks in advance for your assistance. 
 

What’s New for 2012- 2013:
A writing program K-5 across Science, Social Studies, as well as Math, and English/Language Arts.  Teachers will be trained at a “boot camp” on August 13^th, and students will begin to produce work samples and self-edit their own work next year.  Their work will be displayed on a “writing nerve center” in their classroom.
