Roar and Win

And the cougar strikes again! Our school had the best attendance in SLCSD this first month of school. At this point, the trophy might as well take a permanent place in our display case! Great job, Cougars. Keep it classy but also – keep showing up and showing off!

Put the Tech Away!

From the first bell at 7:55 until the last bell of the school day, phones and smart watches need to be OFF or on SILENT and put away out-of-sight. Please help your student remember to remove their smart watches and put them away during school just like their cell phone.
