Happy Birthday today to: Ford Falconberry, Landon McMullen, John Rutan, Kinsley Shumate, and Berkeley Wagner
5th graders, as a reminder, in the morning between 7:00 am and 7:40 am you either need to be in the auditorium lobby or the cafeteria. You may not be roaming the halls.
Students - please make sure you know the last name of your homeroom teacher. In order to be organized and efficient, you will be sitting at homeroom tables for the first few days of lunch and it is helpful for you to know who your homeroom teacher is. It also speeds things up if you know your student ID number!
If you are having locker trouble, please see Ms. Chapman in the main office.
Picture Day is tomorrow, Thursday, August 27th. Students, you will have your picture taken during the school day. Craft Photography will send an email and text message to your parent or guardian once pictures are available to view and order through their website. Pictures will be mailed directly to your home.
In Sports News:
Girls Volleyball tryouts will be tomorrow, Thursday, August 27th and Friday, August 28th. 7th grade tryouts will be from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm. Followed by 8th grade from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Any 8th-grade girls who are trying out may stay after school to help with the tryouts.
The 2026–2027 Middle School Picture Day is Thursday, August 27!
