Open House for Families

- Walk your student's schedule and locate his/her locker if in 6th grade.
- Student schedules will be available in Skyward. Printed copies of schedules will not be provided.
- Staff will not be available during this time. It is simply an opportunity for families and students to walk schedules and tour the campus.
