Title 1 Parent Meeting

Week 5 Roadrunner Revue is Here!

Progress reports are out, tutorials are open for registration, and LIFT begins this week to help students address missing work while it is still eligible for credit.

This week’s Revue also includes:

  • Open House details for tomorrow, 4:30–6:30 PM

  • Title I Parent Meeting + PTO Interest Meeting at 5:00 PM

  • How students can register for tutorials in Minga

  • Important reminders about late work, redos, attendance, and upcoming testing

🚗 JDA DISMISSAL REMINDER

As we prepare for dismissal:

• All parent pickup is in the parent loop at the SOUTH side of the building.
• There is no park-and-pickup option.
• Please do not enter the student waiting area.
• Stay in the center pickup lane and pull all the way forward.
• Even if you see your child farther back, continue forward—your student will come to you.
• Once your student is in the vehicle, use the left lane to exit.

🚌 Bus families: Please download the SMART Tag Parent App using the email connected to your student's registration. You can track boarding, the bus's GPS location, and drop-off. We strongly recommend turning on notifications and set preferences.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and moving! ❤️
