Road Construction and Student Arrival
We have noticed that road construction on Stadium Trace and Highway 150 impacts our student arrival times in the morning and departure times in the afternoons. We are asking all parents who drop off students in the carpool line to please keep this in mind during the morning commute to school. Over the next two weeks, our students will be apart of the spring administration of Scantron Performance Series. Our school day begins each day at 7:45. We want students to have the chance to eat breakfast and arrive to class prior to the start of testing. If students arrive to school later than 7:50, they will not be able to participate in testing until after the morning sessions are completed. Please be mindful of student arrival times as we try to limit the number of tardies this week. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
