Changes for 2017-2018 School Year:
There will be NO treats/whole-class lunches (such as pizza) allowed to be brought in for student birthdays.
We will be moving to an end-of-year Honor Roll Award Ceremony instead of semester honor roll ceremonies.
Students will still receive certificates and dog-tags at first semester for honor rolls from their teachers and earn a
treasure box prize for their accomplishments but no formal awards ceremony will take place at the end of the first
semester.
We will be replacing the Fall Carnival with a Spring Jamboree. The VIP Family Seating and the Personal
Parking Space will be conducted through a silent auction during the month of October. Then available for the 2018-
2019 year at the Spring Jamboree.
