• PTA General Assembly Meeting Tuesday @ 6:30 pm in the IWIA Multipurpose room.

• Thanks to Mr. Anderson for being the one dependable chaperone for this week's field trip to East Atlanta. It is imperative for students safety and experience that we have ample chaperone for all field trips. There were enough chaperones that volunteered on the field trip forms, but not enough that came with us. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find replacement chaperones within 12 hours prior to a field trip and makes it more difficult on the day of the trip. Please be sure that if you volunteer to chaperone a field trip, you are able to be committed.
• Please check our WriteBoard later today for conference sign up!
• Conferences will be held Monday, March 23! No school for students!
