We hope you had a fun and relaxing Fall Break with family and friends. Our site was pretty quiet with routine maintenance and operations jobs being completed. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday, October 9th.
Our custodians were taking care of dusting, replacing lights and ceiling tiles, cleaning area rugs and spot cleaning carpets, cleaning lunch tables and clearing out drains, along with all of the regular tasks of cleaning restrooms and windows. M & O also had our fire system tested (this was a very loud day!). Along with some painting on site and grounds upkeep.
Thanks to Oscar and George for restriping the staff parking lot and all of the other jobs small and big that keep our campus in shape and safe for our students, families and staff. And thanks to Jose and Lynette for all of their hard work, too!

We will need a doctor's note and other information before the student returns to class. It is OK to share with their teacher but the main point of contact is the office.
