Happy Friday Raptor Families,
We are so proud of our students and how hard they have worked to show their learning and growth during testing. CMAS finishes up next week. Please continue to support your student by helping them come to school with a good night’s sleep so that they are fully rested and prepared for the day.
On Monday, April 15th, there is a Track Meet at Skyline High School. Our soccer teams host Trail Ridge Middle School on Tuesday, April 16th after school. On Friday, April 19th, our 5th and 6th grade track athletes finish out their season at a meet at Mead High School.
We appreciate your support and continued involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.
Best Wishes,
