We Need Your Help When Boys & Girls Club is Closed
Please contact the school by noon to let us know when the Boys & Girls Club of Peach Springs is closed or will be closed.
If your student normally goes to the Boys & Girls Club of Peach Springs, be sure we have an alternate plan on file for getting your student home when the club is closed.
Understand that the school may not have been informed by staff at the club regarding the closure of the Boys & Girls Club.
Understand that when the school finds out after 2:30 pm that the Boys & Girls Club is closed, there are many steps needed to rearrange transportation and ensure students arrive at their after-school destinations safely.
Help our school ensure we have the information days before or at least by noon on any day that the Boys & Girls Club will be closed.

To help 8th grade learn about the judicial process and constitutional rights, we are conducting a mock trial project. Part 1 of this project occurred today, which involved the simulated arrest of Mr. Haas.
If students come home today saying someone was arrested at the school - this simulation project is what they are talking about.
