Need to schedule an appointment for your scholar during school hours? We ask that you try and schedule appointments on Fridays when the scholars are out of school. We know this isn’t always possible due to days and hours of operation, however due to our driveline, we are not able to sign scholars out after 2:30 pm. If you have an appointment for your scholar, we will need you to pick them up before 2:30 pm or wait until school is out to pick up your scholar.
Beauty and the Beast performance!
Hello everyone! This week our creative heroes started learning to draw with charcoal! There are three types of charcoal, but we have started with the most difficult… willow charcoal! It was messy, but the scholars had a great time putting a new medium and new techniques to use! Here are a few random drawings from this week. Two amazing facts about these drawings… 1. They were completed within just TWO class periods. 2. These are all from the BEGINNING art classes!! Just imagine the drawings they’ll be creating a month from now!
Mr. Jimenez

COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR SCHOLAR
DID YOU ORDER LUNCH?
HERE ARE A FEW REMINDERS:
- Change your scholars grade level under your profile.
- Communicate with your scholar if you ordered lunch for them so they know to pick it up.
- If a lunch is ordered and not picked up during lunch time, it will be donated.
- If your scholar is absent, cancel the order or contact the front office if you want it saved by 10:00 am, otherwise it will be donated.
- If you want a friend to pick up your lunch, it must be communicated to the front office by 10:00 am so the records can be updated.
DRESS CODE REMINDERS
Khaki pants need to be cream, beige, or khaki in color (according to the chart below). The colors that are crossed out in red are not approved.
