A Few Reminders
2) Car Riders - Our line for drop off and pick up is in the back of the building. Please remember to pull forward so that the line of traffic can continue to move! Thank you for your patience! Cars are to pull into the South Entrance off of Long Road. Please remember to slow down and be careful as we have students that need to cross the road.
3) School Fees are posted in PowerSchool for students.
4) If your son/daughter will be leaving early from school for a doctor's appointment/etc. please be sure to send them in with a note to notify our office in the morning. Thank you!
5) If your child is not feeling well during the day, please tell them to come to the office and visit the clinic. Students are not permitted to have their phones during the day to text or make phone calls home. If a student does this more than once we will have to issue a technology violation. Phones are to be in lockers and silenced. Thank you for understanding.
