Husky Happenings

Brought to you by the PTO!

Coffee with Admin

Friday was a busy morning! We kicked off with our "Coffee with Admin" event - hosting parents for coffee and breakfast goodies, and a chat with Mrs. Vela and Mrs. Fitch!

Mrs. Vela discussed some great topics: attendance (including independent study, what counts as "unexcused" and more), curriculum updates this year, and we had time for a great Q&A with our attendees!

We're already looking forward to the next hang!

First PTO Meeting of the Year!

Energized from our coffee- we rolled right in to our first PTO meeting of the year!

We introduced our board members, approved this year's budget, shared updates of what's already been accomplished over the summer, announced opportunities to get involved, gave reports on upcoming events and programs for this year, and more!

Missed the meeting? You can catch the video here... and watch for minutes to posted soon.
