Absence Notes
On our website you can now submit an excuse for your student's absence(s) and/or early dismissal by going to Our School, Middle School, Helpful Links, Absence Tardiness & Early Dismissal Excuse. The form will go directly to the office staff's emails, who will reply that your email has been received.

If your child must take medication during the school day, please provide it in the originally labeled container with dosage instructions and a physician's order prescribing it. Students should NEVER carry medicine with them around school. The nurse will provide medicine if needed as long as a parent has filled out the emergency card sent home the first week of school.
