Welcome Back, Students!!!

Welcome back, students!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and you're ready for the new year!  We have a lot of changes in store and for the next couple of days we are going to be reminding you of our classroom, school, and district policies and procedures.  

The first change you surely noticed was our change in administration.  Our new administrators are:  Mr. Shannon Ruffin (Principal) and Mrs. Monika Smith (Assistant Principal).  Other things that you must remember are our new policies (which I will post later) that Mr. Ruffin went over first thing this morning in the auditorium.  

Handbook Policies to Remember:
