Greetings Families,
Our new school year is off to a great start! Please see updated links below for the completed version of our Student Code of Conduct Handbook which contains some additional content. You were sent a communication during the first week of August sharing the handbook as well as instructions on how to electronically sign the Acknowledgement of Receipt. If you have not already provided your acknowledgment of receipt of the handbook, please do so at this time. If you have already signed, no further action is needed. This electronic acknowledgment process involves completion of two simple steps 1) Reviewing the Student Code of Conduct and 2) Completing and submitting the Acknowledgement of Electronic Receipt. Here is how you complete these two steps:
