The mechanical issue in the cafeteria has been repaired, and we will be able to resume with the regular menu tomorrow. Thank you!
Families,
We wanted to let you know that due to a mechanical issue in our cafeteria, we served bagged lunches to students in their classrooms today.
We apologize for this unexpected change. Our maintenance team is working diligently to resolve the issue so that breakfast and lunch service can return to normal as soon as possible.
Good afternoon! Report cards have been posted within your Campus Parent App. If you have any trouble viewing those using the directions sheet provided, please reach out to your child's teacher. Report cards will be printed at the end of the year for you to keep a copy. Teachers will be reaching out soon to offer options for mid-year parent teacher conferences.
Due to the end of semester testing at the high school, Cartoogechaye buses will be running a little earlier than normal in the afternoons for the remainder of the week. Thank you.

This is a reminder that there is no school for students all of next week, November 24-27. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and break!
We have been given the opportunity to provide an after-school snack bag to any of our students who want one. This week, we have had only enough for our car rider students. However, when we return from Thanksgiving break, we will have enough to offer it to our bus riding students too. We hope this extra snack will be a help to our families. We appreciate our Nutrition team preparing and offering this extra meal!
Bus 161 will not run it's morning route next week, Monday, Nov. 17 thru Nov. 21. We apologize for this inconvenience.
