- Tuesday, October 21:

- Friday, October 24: MS Honor Roll breakfast – 8:00am – 8:30am. Individual invites to come for students with a 3.5 GPA or higher.
Halloween is right around the corner! We’ll share more details soon about our annual costume parade. As you help your student choose a costume, please remember that safety comes first. Costumes should be school-appropriate and non-distracting. Students must be easily recognizable, so no masks, face paint, sunglasses, fake blood, or full-face coverings. Weapons or look-alikes are not allowed.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. As always, please reach out if there’s anything we can do to help!
Best wishes,
Catrina Estrada, Principal
Sandra Vazquez, Assistant Principal
Matt Romig, Assistant Principal
Grant Elwood, Dean of Students
