Don't forget that school is closed for students on Monday, November 1st and Tuesday, November 2nd to allow staff the opportunity to participate in professional development and connect with families about students' 1st quarter progress.
If you have not scheduled your parent-teacher conference yet with your child's homeroom teacher, please feel free to reach out to them by email in order to do so.
We look forward to welcoming our Mustangs back to school for the start of the 2nd quarter on Wednesday, November 3rd.
