THIEF ALERT

Last Tuesday we had three incidents in which 3 cars parked on the East side of Cypress Street opposite the school had their windows smashed and valuables such as purses and cell phones were taken. This happened around 9:00 am. It is very surprising that someone would have the gall to do this, and surprising that nobody saw anything. The police did attend and took details.

Please do not leave valuables in view in your parked car and be alert for suspicious activity. Thank you.

Critical Thinking

Our first school goal this year is to develop critical thinking among our students. Below is a link to a web site that can provide parents with ideas about how to support critical thinking.
