Sign up for Scrip!
Interested in Selling Popcorn or Cookie Dough? (Neither are we...). Help by buying gift cards to stores you shop already.....Target, Walmart, Starbucks, etc.
Scrip sells gift cards from your favorite retailers and passes on a rebate to us for each gift card purchased. Your active participation in Scrip is the best way we can avoid direct sales at our school. Please take five minutes to set up an account and enroll in Presto Pay. Click here to get started.

Students staying for Sporting Events
Students in grades 7-12 are allowed to stay after school is finished for the day for any games that start at 4:00. Games that start later than this will mean that your student needs to be picked up and brought back for the game time. Students who stay for 4:00 games are expected to be seated on the bleachers immediately following dismissal. No student should be found wandering around the building.
Students in grades K-6 will always need to be picked up and brought back for games, or wait in the gym with a parent for 4:00 games. Students may not be under the supervision of an older sibling - they must have a parent or other adult accompanying them.
Any students not following these guidelines will lose the privilege of attending after school games and events.

CHAT meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 8am-10am to do things for our teachers, such as making copies, laminating, making booklets, cut-and-paste projects for crafts, etc. This is a fantastic way to directly help our teachers and students. Please contact Amber Brannon at Ambernbrannan@gmail.com or just show up on Tuesdays/Thursdays.
