When will my child receive their schedule?
School schedules will be available on the SIS Student & Parent Gateway beginning July 30, 2019. We have a 6-period day and run a rotating schedule.
Student ID Badges
Students will receive an ID shortly after school begins. All students will be required to wear an ID at all times. Students without IDs will be sent to the media center to purchase a new one. Students will be provided with a lanyard, but may choose to use their own school-appropriate lanyard. IDs are color coded by grade level.
Transportation & Dismissal
School Bus information can be found on the district's website under "Find my bus."
Students either leave out of the front main doors for parent pick-up or they go out of the bus loop doors to take the bus home.
If you're a car rider, we ask that parents drive their car to the front of the line to prevent traffic build-up.
Other Important Information
School Supplies: Teachers will each provide a list of their suggested supplies during the first week of school.
