View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal Good morning! I wanted to say thank you to everyone for following the new protocols for drop off and pick up! Just a reminder to drive slowly whenever you are on campus and to hold hands while walking through the parking lot. Also, there should be NO left turns out of the church parking lot onto Victory Blvd. at any time. Thursday, August 29 from 5-6pm is our first Parent Meeting. We will be discussing events for this school year. All are invited, please save the date!  After the parent meeting, we will host our first Virtus class of the year from 6:30-8:30pm. If you are interested in volunteering at all (on campus or for field trips) you must be Virtus certified. Virtus classes are valid for 4 years.
