Happy Thursday

Good afternoon Cheetah families!

Hope everyone's week has been amazing. The weather has been great! We have just a few more weeks of school left. Hard to believe that this year has gone by that fast.

Reminder: Tomorrow there is NO school, it is a teacher in-service day.

We also have extra yearbooks available They are $20 and the forms are in our front office if you would like to purchase one.

Lastly, please call the office by 2:30 if there are changes to how your student is getting home. This allows our staff to be able to get the message to the teacher and your student in time.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend ! As always, please reach out if you have any questions.
