Students who do not have a fully charged Chromebook will receive a silent lunch that day.
Lutheran High Olympic Day
We will be going to Lutheran High for Olympic Day on Friday, April 24th. Students received a permission slip in their Thursday folder. Please make sure that you sign and return those promptly so that we have accurate counts for those who need a pizza lunch that day. Gluten-free pizza is available for those who need it. Both 7th and 8th grade classes need drivers. Please contact us ASAP if you are able to drive.
