Safety Reminder... 
If your child is scheduled to ride the bus and you realize a change is needed, please do NOT attempt to pick up your child outside as the buses are loading. It is against safety protocol for the bus drivers and staff members on duty to release a child in this manner. In order to create a safe situation for students, parents/guardians must contact the main office if a change in dismissal is needed. Thank you!

FLITE vs. Harlem Wizards - A Winner for All!
The Harlem Wizards came to town on March 15-16. We had a blast! We can't imagine a better way to increase awareness of FLITE and raise money than in a gym full of loud happy kids. You helped FLITE raise over $27,000, which will help support pre-school tuition, after-school homework clubs and other key programs so T/E students can succeed.
Thank you to all the players and volunteers who made sure this event was a success. When you look at the spectrum of teachers, administrators, and coaches from the 8 schools in our district who participated in the FLITE event, it shows an impressive commitment to education and to our children. And thank you to everyone who came to cheer on the FLITE team while having fun and supporting the community. We're thinking that if we do this again next year, we should include a free pair of earplugs for parents! That gym was rockin'.
