This Week in Wildcat Nation...

In this week's Wildcat News, we are on an adjusted bell schedule next week, we thank our PTSA and community volunteers, and a reminder for next week's SAC meeting. #WildcatNation

Students, do not forget that we are on an adjusted bell schedule next week due to 7th-grade CCRS assessments. We will start each day in seminar (see more in the "Events" section below). Wildcat community, next week we have two ways you can get involved on campus on Wednesday. Our "Coffee with Admin" event is scheduled for 09:00, and our quarterly SAC meeting is at 16:00. More information for both events is available in the "Events" section below. Finally, we want to send a special thank you to our PTSA and community volunteers for their continued support and for making “Purple Up!” Day a success.
