When your child is going somewhere other than home, we need to know the street it is located on. We have to write the address on the bus note, so the driver knows where the student is to be dropped off. Please notify the office of any changes to your child's after school plan by 1:30 pm.
This week I will be meeting with all the 8th grade students and reviewing their high school schedules for next year.

The attached letter details information about the PEP Plan, and a copy of this letter will be sent home attached to your student's plan as well. If you have any questions, please contact the school counselor.
