Tomorrow is the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, and we are so excited to welcome our students back! Our teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare for an amazing school year, and we can’t wait to see our Lobos walk through the doors! 🐺

A few important reminders for tomorrow:

⏰ Morning Arrival
Parents are welcome to walk their students to class on the first day. The tardy bell rings at 7:50 a.m. We will begin clearing the campus after the tardy bell, with a goal of having all guests off campus by 8:10 a.m.

🚗 Car Rider Tags
Temporary car rider tags will be provided tomorrow. We will do our best to catch parents during drop-off to provide them. If you need a car tag, please visit the front office.

🍎 Lunch Guests
To help our students get acclimated and comfortable with being back at school, we will not have lunch guests this week. Beginning Monday, August 17, parents and approved guests will once again be welcome to join students for lunch.

🚗 Dismissal
Please be patient with us during dismissal tomorrow. The first few days may take a little longer as we work through procedures and make sure every student gets home safely.

We are so excited to begin a new school year with our students and families! Thank you for your patience, support, and partnership as we get our year off to a great start.

Let’s make it a great first day, Lobos! 🐺💙🖤
