Principal's Message
Our Blazers have fully embraced the routines and procedures of being in school and having lots of fun learning. It was great seeing a lot of our families back during BTSN. Here is the slide deck.

A gentle reminder about SAFETY and COURTESY to others! While we recognize we’re all eager to get our students to class on time (or pick them up when they come out), it’s very unsafe to randomly stop the car to let your kids get off and/or let your kids jaywalk across the street outside of the marked crosswalks. This type of occurance has been common along Insight St. This increases the chance for traffic disruption and accidents.   
 
School Site Council
Please consider volunteering to join our School Site Council (SSC). The SSC is our school's governing committee that determines the best use of allocated state and federal funds in order to provide an optimal academic experience for our Blazers. We meet 4 - 5 times a year. (10/15, 1/21, 2/18, 3/18, 4/15*)

The SSC is composed of school employees and community members. We are in need of at least 5 parents to join our team. Please consider nominating yourself to have your name included in the SSC ballot. Nominations are currently open till Wednesday, September 11th. Forms can be found here. Elections will be held shortly after.
