Principal’s Hello<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Parents and Guardians, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take care, and hold your kids close. I hope you all drive safely and stay warm this weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
