Dear Dragon Families,

As we wrap up another week, I want to thank you for your continued support of our school community. This week, during ADVISORY, our students learned about how we are using the agenda this year, HIGH FIVE FOR UNDERSTANDING, protecting, and caring for their Chromebook, and how to check PowerSchool. Be sure to ask them to share and even look at their agenda.

 

Wishing you all a restful weekend!

Proud Principal, Margaret Feldman
