Happy Sunday, Grizzly Families!

This was our first full week of school and students are starting to get into the groove of routines and classroom learning. Athletics are already underway with our Soccer teams getting started last week, our Cross-Country team competing in their first meet on Thursday and Basketball tryouts beginning this week.

It was also a fantastic week of community connection as so many families joined us for Meet the Teacher. The evening was filled with great conversations, reconnections, and new introductions. We are excited to continue building these partnerships as the year progresses!

Please see below for some important updates, upcoming dates, and dates of significance.

The lessons will be taking place between September 22 and October 9. Individual class schedules will be posted in your child's google classroom next week. There will also be an online sign up for parent volunteers who are able to come to assist students with equipment and offering some support for students as needed.
