As we progress through the school year, it is imperative that we work in partnership to ensure we have a smooth transition into the school year. With that said, parents or guardians must make frequent visits to the district and school’s websites, listen to Dr. Beasley’s messages and Board Meetings. Teachers will also send messages through Remind and Class Dojo. Hopefully, we will provide you with important information related to transitioning your child (ren) into the new school year. Thanks to all parents who filled out the survey located on the school’s website. Information from the survey was utilized to assist parents with technology equipment and internet access. We know when students are at home they tend to eat more, therefore, we place information on the website related to acquiring food stamps for many of our households.
