Wow! Another week is over. I hope everybody had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
Curriculum Night is coming up this Wednesday, September 10th. There will be a Powerschool and Stargate website tutorial in the Multi-Purpose Room from 6:30pm-7:00 pm. Beginning at 7:00pm, you will have the opportunity to meet with your kiddo’s homeroom, literacy and math teacher.
