On Monday, February 23rd, and Monday, March 2nd, in the cafetorium, at 5:30 PM sharp, we will be hosting viewings of the 90-minute Parent/Teen Safe Driving Video. This video is a requirement for students to be able to receive their driver's license and their attendance will be documented to satisfy this requirement. Students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for this to count. You only have to attend one viewing. Please enter through the middle school doors and arrive at least 5 minutes in advance if you plan on attending. If you have any questions, please contact me! Thank you!
