Headphones

Hello families,

One of the requested supply items for 8th grade is headphones. It would be very helpful if you could remind your child to have their headphones in their backpack. We give students 1-2 pairs a year, and we label them with their names. It's remarkable how many end up lost.

Headphones are required for both our math and ELA diagnostic tests.

Thank you so much for helping us with this important supply item.

Mrs. Lanfear & Mr. Howrigan

Welcome Back!

We had a great first day with our learning community, and we are really looking forward to spending this school year with them! Today each student received a folder with multiple forms that need to be signed and returned. Please look for those this evening.

Thank you,

Mrs. Lanfear & Mr. Howrigan
