Do I need to buy school supplies for my middle school student this year?
- Parents will need to purchase earbuds (only) for their student this year.
Can we supply our child with a lock for their locker that we purchased?
- In most cases, students are expected to use school-issued locks. If you feel that your child needs a lock that is different than the one provided for by the school, please contact the main office to discuss the specific situation.
Where are the gym lockers/when do the students get their assigned locker, lock and combination?
- Gym lockers are located in the lockers rooms.
- Physical education teachers will assign lockers, locks and provide the combination. More information will be provided by the physical education teachers.
Will my child be able to carry their backpack throughout the day?
- No. All backpacks will need to be stored in each student's locker during the day.
What time will the school doors open?
- 7:25 am
How early can I drop off my child?
- Students should be dropped off no earlier than 7:15 am.
What time will my child be considered late?
- First period begins at 7:30. Therefore, students are considered late starting at 7:31 am.
Where do students report for recess?
- During lunch on the first day, students were taught where to line up when they have recess.
Where do students place their instrument if they are in band?
- Students should use one of the "cubbies" that are available in the band room. More information will be provided by the band teacher.
Can my child attend a JV or Varsity game without a parent or guardian?
- No. Middle school students must have a parent or guardian with them to attend games.
My child needs to stay after school in order to go to practice. What should my child do until practice starts?
- Student athletes should find a teacher to stay with until 2:40 pm. At 2:40, they should report to the cafeteria, where they will wait for their coach to meet them.
