🎉 TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! 🎉

We can’t wait to welcome all of our students back! 💙 Here are a few tips to help make sure they're ready for a great first day:

📚 Check class assignments in PowerSchool. Can’t find it? No worries! Staff will be onsite to help.

💧 Make sure kids bring a refillable water bottle and wear light, comfortable clothing—it’s going to be hot!

😴 Get your kids to bed early tonight so they're rested and ready to go.

🌟 Encourage kids to come ready to learn, grow and have a great year!

💬 Register for ParentSquare to stay connected with your student’s teacher and school throughout the year.

We’ll see you tomorrow! 🎒📓✏️
