7) We still have uniforms and sweatshirts available for sale.  Please contact our community representative, Sarah Chavez, for more information on purchasing.

8) It is important that all students who sign up for Saturday Field Trips attend the trip.  Lately we have had many students who sign up and do not show up for the field trip.  Moving forward, any students who miss their Saturday field trip will no longer be able to attend any field trips scheduled on Saturdays.  Please make sure your child attends if he/she is signed up. If for any reason the student is not able to attend, please notify the office 24 hours before the trip so that another student can be invited to the field trip.

Have a great week!

J.L. Dorado, Principal
