Last Friday, we had our 2nd nine-week reward day at Skate Country for the middle school students who finished the nine weeks with no discipline issues, no unexcused absences, and no Fs on their report cards! Huge shoutout to these hardworking yellow jackets, and a big thank you to our academic boosters for making this possible!

Now is a good time to start preparing for next school year. Students who are entering 7th and 12th grade, do not forget about your required vaccines(Tdap and Meningitis)!

Check in with your primary care provider to see if the vaccines have already been completed or to make an appointment for the exams and vaccines.
