This important program teaches valuable life skills to fifth graders all over the county—covering topics such as drug prevention, vaping, peer pressure, and more.
By the end of the program, students have a better understanding of what it means to make safe, healthy, and responsible choices—and there may or may not be a pretty awesome graduation party waiting for them at the finish line!

Due to the weather, there is potential for a rainy day dismissal.
Walkers & Bike Riders: For safety, all students who normally walk or ride bikes will need to be dismissed as car riders. Please plan to pick them up in the car line.
Potential Delays: Please expect our full dismissal to run a bit slower than usual as we work to keep everyone safe and dry.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!🔒
Did you know that cyber threats are constantly evolving? It's crucial to stay informed and vigilant to protect your personal and professional information. Here are some tips to enhance your cybersecurity:
☑️Update Your Software Regularly:
Ensure all your devices and applications are up-to-date. Software updates often include important security patches that protect against vulnerabilities.
☑️Use Strong, Unique Passwords:
Avoid using easily guessable passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, and consider using a password manager to keep track of them.
☑️Enable Two-Factor Authentication:
Add an extra layer of security to your accounts by enabling two-factor authentication. This requires a second form of verification beyond just your password.
☑️Be Wary of Phishing Scams:
Always double-check the sender's email address and be cautious of clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
☑️Back Up Your Data:
Regularly back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud service. This can save you in case of a ransomware attack or other data loss incidents.
Let's make this October a month of increased awareness and proactive steps towards a safer digital world. Stay cyber safe! 💻🔐
