          Attention 8th graders

           

          Do you want to know first hand that your opinion DOES count and YOU can make a difference?  Are you interested in seeing Washington DC and New York City up close?

           

          If so, consider experiencing our nation’s political and financial capitals with us at the Close Up Middle School Program.  We will visit in April 2012.  See Mrs. Buresh and Mrs. Hinds  in the counseling area and Visit www.CloseUp.org for more information.

        • logo     Online Absence Reporting Available on iParent

           

          Parents now have a method to report online student absences.
           
          A written note or telephone call is still acceptable, but online reporting is easy through iParent. Parents know if the absence is excused and for what reason. It is a way for schools to accurately report and track data on student absences.
