    Message From Division Director

    The anticipation is finally over, and we have now officially had our FIRST day of school; it was a great day with many more to follow. It was wonderful to see so many of you in the building over the past couple of days for conferences, which will serve as the beginning of a strong partnership. Thanks to all of you for the time and energy spent preparing your child for the start of school — from doctor’s appointments and textbooks to trying on last year’s clothes in hopes that they still fit!

    As a follow up to this past Monday’s Parent Orientation, here is the video presentation and the presentation slides.

    Brian Lamont
    Director of the Middle School

    Parents’ Association

    Calling All Concessions Volunteers!

    In addition to the Igloo, there is also a concession stand located on The John M. Thomas Terrace called the Den. We are excited to open it back up for afternoon athletic games. Parent volunteers are needed to help sell concessions in both the Igloo and the Den during the day and after school. More opportunities will be added throughout the year for each athletic season. Please sign up for as many shifts as you'd like, and feel free to invite a friend to sign up with you too.
