Parents, Students and Friends –

Beginning of School Lobo Update:
We are off and running into the 2017-2018 school year! We had a successful 7th grade orientation and open house for new and returning students and parents. It was great to see so many students eager to start the new school year. It was also great to see the faces and range of emotions from the 7th grade parents! We hope you saw how excited our teachers were to have your children in their classes. We hope you saw how thrilled the PTA parents were when you signed up to help with that part of our school. We hope you saw the custodians finishing their work and helping in the halls. We hope you saw the secretaries and counselors working to ensure all would be ready for your child to start that first day off right. And, we hope you saw the administrators helping anywhere we could. We take care of children. We love what we do. We hope the very best for every student in our school this year.

First Days of Pack Time
We will not be starting regular Pack Time until Wednesday, August 30th. Students remain with their 2nd period teacher during what would normally be Pack Time. The teacher will review policies and school rules so all students are aware of the expectations while at school. We will also have a lesson on our yearly theme, LOBO HEROES!

Picture Packets
Packets will be given to students today to bring home. Students will get their picture taken during their science class. There is no obligation to purchase a picture package, but ALL students must have their picture taken for directory purposes.

Lobo T-Shirts
After pictures, students will receive a new Lobo t-shirt to wear throughout the year! There will be special Lobo Days where students can earn a treat if they are caught wearing their shirt. We will announce the days in advance.

Class Changes
The last day for class changes will be Friday, August 25th. A $5.00 class change fee will be charged except for incomplete schedules. Please note that not all schedule changes can be accommodated due to the number and times of sections offered as well as class size concerns.
