Attention Grizzly Students!
We need to address ongoing parking concerns in our surrounding neighborhood. Local residences and businesses have made it clear that they will tow any unauthorized vehicles parked in their lots. This is not a warning, it is a guarantee. If you park there, you run the risk of your car being towed at your own expense. Please park only in the designated student lot assigned to you. Using the correct lot helps us maintain positive relationships with our neighbors and keeps your vehicle safe. Thank you for doing your part to support our school and our community.
Get your student parking pass from the main office. Please display your student parking sticker inside and on the drivers side of your vehicle.

Dear Families,
As we approach conference season, I want to share why these conversations matter, not just for your student’s academic journey but for their growth as a whole person.
Simon Sinek reminds us to “Start with Why.” The why behind conferences is simple yet powerful: to strengthen the partnership between home and school so every student feels supported, understood, and inspired to thrive. Conferences aren’t just about grades or test scores; they’re about creating a shared vision for your student’s success. When we come together, we align on goals, celebrate progress, and identify strategies that help your student feel confident and capable.
Your voice matters. You know your student best, and your insights help us personalize learning in ways that truly make a difference. These meetings are an opportunity to ask questions, share observations, and collaborate on next steps because when we work together, students see that their growth is a team effort.
Thank you for investing this time. It’s more than a meeting; it’s a moment to reaffirm our shared commitment to your student’s future.
In community,
Becca Laroi

Site Council meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month and plays a key role in driving school improvement by developing and monitoring progress toward our goals.
