Students need to pay $3 toward our technology fees if they have not done so already.

Parents interested in going with us to the Lathrop Living History festival in October can let his/her child's homeroom teacher know. If you know you are not on the school's approved list, you can get a form at the Administrative Office and pay $10.  It takes a few weeks to complete the process!
