Parents,
It is with great pleasure our teachers have been decorating their classrooms and working on getting things prepared for the new school year. The staff will return on August 19th for workshops and time to finalize their classrooms. At this time, teachers will receive class lists and will be making phone calls to all of their students on August 19th. So, keep your phones class on the evening of August 19th.
We are still experiencing some difficulty with eBlasts reaching some of our parents; therefore, district personnel have been notified. They are working to help solve the technology issue. Please share this information with T.H.E. families around you.
Update your Parent Portal information so that your child’s new buff card will contain accurate information when printed for August 26th. You will have until Friday, August 16th to make those updates in Parent Portal before the district staff begins printing them.
We hope that everyone enjoys their last few weeks of summer! We anxiously wait to welcome all of our students back on August 26th.
Thank you,
Tara Bailey
