Students: It has been reported that there have been several close calls regarding students almost being hit by cars when crossing Sycamore and Camino Alto. The students were either crossing outside the crosswalk with a green light or were looking down at their cellphones when crossing the street, not in the crosswalk. These are both dangerous actions. Please remember that as a pedestrian, skateboarder, or bicyclist, you are expected to abide by traffic laws. For your safety, only cross using the crosswalks and when the ‘Walk’ sign is on. It is always dangerous to walk while looking down at your cellphone and unaware of your surroundings. Stay safe!

Hey Mathletes out there! What do you call a number that can’t sit still? A roamin’ numeral. We have a mathletes meeting TODAY at lunch in room 33 and we will be taking our club photo.  See you all there for some calculated fun!”
