Principal’s Hello
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I know these snow and ice days can be tricky, especially with young kids at home. I also know that student safety is paramount, and I’m so very saddened to hear of the deaths and serious injuries to Bend-La Pine students this week. Please drive safely this weekend.
Speaking of safety, we will have a powerful and informative bike safety assembly on Friday, February 23. Some important visitors will co-present to our students, and I think it will be a good learning experience for our kids.
Switching gears, we have some other stuff on the horizon: our SafetyNet Family Night, our CTE “Fly Up Day” for our 8th graders, and our next “Coffee With the Principal.” (Although I’ve recently switched to black tea.)
Take care, and hold your kids close. I hope you all drive safely and stay warm this weekend.
Sean
