What a great start to our school year! The students have made a great transition from summer vacation to school. We are pleased with the students ability to adjust to new surroundings, peers and expectations. We have spent the first week introducing the students to our building PBIS matrix and reviewing our expectations and standards. Please take a look below at our building matrix.


Please feel free to contact the Main Office at 284-8017 with any questions.

    • Common areas are defined as: hallways, locker rooms, restrooms, gym, cafeteria and outside staff supervised areas during school hours

  • Cell phones and all Bluetooth headphones are not allowed to be used during transition times or between classes

  • Families are always welcome to call the school office at 284-8016 and messages will be delivered to their student

  • If a student needs to make an emergency call during the day, they are to come up to the office

  • Cell phones and all Bluetooth headphones can be turned back on at the end of the school day, once students exit the building
