Tuesday, March 16th at 2:45 in the multi. There will be
limited space for solo acts, so try to find someone with
a similar talent and perform together. Acts should be no
more then 2 minutes in length.
We have had an increase of animals joining adults during
arrival and dismissal time. For the safety and
cleanliness of our campus, please remember that dogs
(or cats
J)
are not allowed on campus. Many students have health
issues with animals and in some cases are fearful of
animals. Thank you for either keeping your dog (or catJ)
at home or securely locked in your car during arrival or
dismissal time. Thank you for your continued support
and regard for our students and campus.
 One
way bus passes may be purchased in
the school office. The cost is $3.00
per ticket – cash only. Checks are
not accepted. You may also order
them from the Transportation
Department.
 It
is a very hectic time of year but please remember to
provide lunch money or a bag lunch for your student.
Many students have run out of money and are not able to
have a lunch – in that case they are provided with
crackers and milk. You can check your student’s balance
by going to
Meal
Time. You will need your student’s ID number which
may be obtained from the school office.
With the continued budget
cuts, the school is need of
various items. Each month in
the Dateline we will publish
a donation item of the month
that will be utilized for
the teachers, students and
office staff. If you would
like to contribute, please
