General Updates

  • Cell phones should be off and away during the school day. Most teachers offer to collect and lock phones up when students enter the building. If cell phones are out repeatedly throughout the day, the teacher will ask the student to hand it over until the end of the day.


  • Please remind all students who ride buses that they should remain seated at all times and keep their hands, feet, and other objects to themselves. Not doing so will likely result in denial of bus transportation.


  • We are working hard to limit the traffic in the hallways, specifically during our lunch periods. Homeroom teachers will ensure that students have opportunities to use the restrooms before and after lunch. Unless it is an emergency, we will ask students to wait until after lunch to use the restrooms.


  • Library book check out is on pause for the next couple of weeks due to a new barcoding system. Students can still return books to the library but will not be able to checkout until the collection is updated

Student Absence Form

If your child has been or is going to be absent for an upcoming appointment or any other reason, you can submit that information by clicking the button above.

Breakfast and Lunch are provided FREE OF CHARGE for all students!

All students will have access to a free breakfast and lunch every day!


Be mindful that even if your child brings breakfast and/or lunch with them, we CANNOT DENY students access to the meals that we have in school, so if you do not want them to eat a school breakfast/lunch or have concerns about the possibility of them eating a double lunch (the one that bring from home and what we offer in school) and ending up with a tummy ache, please have that conversation with your scholar. :-)
