Announcements and Assignments for August 18, 2005

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope every one is well.

Please remember tomorrow is a half day and the students will be excused at 11:00 a.m.

A couple of staff/parents have told the school about the Safeway Escrips program that donates a portion of what you purchase to the school. Grand Canyon is part of that program so please help out your school if you shop at Safeway.

I spoke to a couple of people today regarding jeans and I want to remind all families that jeans are not allowed to be worn unless it is a jean skirt. Please call or email if there are any questions on the dress code.
