Admin Updates - Thank you for your assistance with these matters.
- Students who bring beverages for "morning consumption" - other than water - (i.e. iced coffees, smoothies, frappuccinos, etc.) must report to the cafeteria to consume these items. These are not to be consumed on our hallways.
- All beverages brought to school for "during the day consumption" should be in a container that has a screw top to prevent unwanted spills or damage to personal or school items.
- Blankets should not be brought to school. While lounging/pajama pants are not prohibited in our current dress code, these are not proper school attire.
- Students are expected to be in their homerooms, seated, and ready to learn by 8:10am each morning.
