Good Morning Timberwolf families!

Due to the half day closure today, our Cultural Decades Celebration has been cancelled. I was looking forward to it but
everyone's health and safety is important. If you cooked for tonight's event, just like I did, I thank you and hope you will be
able to enjoy it at home with your family. Again, my apologies!

Due to the extreme heat expected, Friday, June 12 will be a half day of school for all students.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. Dismissal will follow our standard half-day schedule.

As we navigate this period of high temperatures, we urge all families to take the necessary safety precautions:

> Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you do not feel thirsty.

>Limit Outdoor Activity: Avoid prolonged outdoor activity, especially during peak heat hours.

> Dress Appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing to help stay cool.

> Vehicle Safety: Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles for any amount of time.

> Check on Loved Ones: Please check in regularly on children, older adults, and individuals with underlying health concerns who may be more vulnerable to the heat.
