Be on the lookout.....students will receive their 2019-2020 SR&R Guides for families during Lion Time on Thursday, September 5. Guides will be brought home to parents by students. You may also access the information at this link to review with your students.  Students and parents are asked to sign the signature sheet on page one of the guide.  Students are asked to bring the signature sheet back to their Lion Time teachers on Friday, September 6 or Monday, September 9.  By signing, parents are letting us know that you have received the guide.
