Dear Raptor Families,

What a great week! We are settling back into routines. As a reminder, we do not have school on Monday, September 2nd, due to Labor Day. Next Wednesday, September 4th, is our first PLC/Late Start. School starts at 11:05 am, with drop-off beginning at 10:50 am. 

Thank you for being courteous and helping keep our students safe during pick-up and drop-off. The crosswalks help with keeping everyone safe. 1st-8th please use the west side parking lot for pick-up and drop-off. The front of the school is for Kindergarten drop-off and pick-up only. If you are dropping off, please assist your student in finding their line up spot. Students are not to be on the playground equipment before school.

On Wednesday, September 4th, we have a Girls Volleyball Intramural home scrimmage after school. 

As always, please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate your continued support and involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

Best wishes,

Catrina Estrada, Principal 

Sandra Vazquez, Assistant Principal 

Matt Romig, Assistant Principal 

Grant Elwood, Dean of Students
