Besides ensuring that no unauthorized individuals are on school grouds during school hours, they are supervising students before school, during passing periods and lunch, and after school. In and outside of class, when students have injuries or health concerns, they are the calming presence who transport students to the office for further care. In addition, shout out to Ms. Dali and Ms. Leanne, our noon duty supervisors who safeguard students at the crosswalks before and after school. We also deeply appreciate all of our parent volunteers who are supporting student supervision before school and during lunchtime. It takes a village to ensure the safety of our kids at school!<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Girls Basketball Tryouts<\/strong>: Just another friendly reminder to students interested in trying out for our Girls Basketball teams,\u00a0please make sure you do the following:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScye9efjr5wDB00d4TkGdSyH_13nlqqblm7Zv9Zy74bzs2iFg\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Application<\/a>\u00a0(due Friday, 11\/22) &#8212; this gives Coach Julia enough time to coordinate the tryout schedule for interested students<\/li>\r\n<li>Signed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/11u6jIxDb7OqnmpGGxurZQkhWZA9_kJ4l\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tryout Permission Slip<\/a>\u00a0.
