 Caption: For one day, our Orchestra Director traded places with her colleague from Longfellow MS to give our students an opportunity to work with another amazing middle school teacher.
From the Principal's Desk: Please read the following important message about Safety in our Kiss and Ride areas: On Wolftrap Road, parents are dropping their children off
and then making an illegal u-turn to go back out to Gallows Rd. This is a dangerous practice; Officer Judd has given warnings but drop-offs continue on the road. Be mindful of all our community and use the traffic loop around the parking lot to drop off your student.
