Latinx Hispanic Heritage Month 

Lockdown Drill this week:

We practice several different types of safety drills throughout the school year. This practice is for all students and staff to learn the procedures to remain safe and calm in the case of a safety event.  Next week we’ll complete our first lockdown drill of the year. Please help prepare your Aviator by reviewing the information below with them. Thank you for speaking with your student so we can run a successful practice!  

During a lockdown drill, all Aviators should:  

1. Follow their teacher’s instructions  

2. Move quickly  

3. Remain quiet.  

4. Take the practice seriously and not joke, laugh, or play around.

As we start the school year, we notice a trend in increased use and discussion of Nicotine products. We encourage you to talk with your students about this matter at home. Using this link you will find district resources to support further learning on the topic at home for families and students. 

We will continue to hold students accountable to our Code of Conduct as necessary and are thankful for your support in keeping our school safe for all students. 

We ensure all students are getting the social, emotional, and/or mental health support they need to be successful. If you notice a change in behavior, something has changed at home, or if your student has asked to talk to someone, we are here for to help! Feel free to message us, give us a call or fill out our Student Assistance Form with any questions or concerns.

Face Masks Expectation and Campus Face Mask Supply:

Hello Families,  

To keep our community safe during the continued COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that all students, staff, parents, and family members wear a mask on campus. If your Aviator forgets their mask, we can provide them one. The extra masks we have are reusable so please wash it for your Aviator to use it again. Please do not throw away these reusable masks. Thank you very much!  

Safety and Security:

we value your student’s safety, so we require them and all staff and personnel to wear a mask each day. If students do not have a mask on arriving to school, we provide them with one for the day. We also remind students to keep their mask over their mouth and nose at all times.
