Spirit
Wear Update:
Congratulations
to the students, parents and community for making our transition
to the new spirit wears a success! As many of you know,
Monday January 8 th was the first day of our new dress code.
I am pleased to report that 95% of students were in compliance
with the policy. For that I would like to thank you for
demonstrating your support, not only to our school, but to the
Board of Trustees for their courageous decision to move this forward.
Marin
School of the Arts:
I
also have some more fabulous news to share. As many of you
know we have created a partnership with the Marin School of the
Arts, housed at Novato High School. This semester we are
looking at implementing choral instruction, band enrichment, and
drama and ceramics classes to provide our students with a truly
enhancing and creative experience. I am so looking forward
to this union which will create a deeper breadth and depth of
curricula for our kids. Please stay tuned to the e-blast news
and our web site for more information
