Attention Raptor Families,
In light of the excessive heat advisory, the well-being and comfort of our school community are our top priorities. Therefore, we have made the decision to postpone our Back to School Night.
The new date for Back to School Night is: Thursday, September 7th. Below is the link to the event flyer.

We understand that schedules can be tight, but we hope this change will ensure a safer and more comfortable experience for everyone. Please mark your calendars and make the necessary adjustments. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and flexibility.
Stay safe and stay cool. We look forward to seeing all of you on the rescheduled date!


Dear Raptor Families,
In light of the excessive heat advisory issued for today, Thursday, August 24th, we would like to inform you that both the Fine Arts and STEM campuses will remain open. However, the safety and well-being of our students are our top priority. Should you choose to keep your student(s) at home due to the heat, please note that absences will be excused.
If your child does attend school, we encourage them to dress in light and breathable clothing, stay hydrated, and limit outdoor activity. We will also be taking extra precautions at the school to ensure the safety and comfort of our students during these elevated temperatures.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Stay safe and hydrated.
