Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have children in multiple grade levels?
You do not need to come on both days. You may select whichever of your children's designated days is best for you.
Would there be any reason my child would not receive his or her materials during Walkthrough?
If the school district requested proof of residency for your family, or you have not registered, you will need to do so prior to receiving your materials at Walkthrough. Please login to your Infinite Campus account to do so.
Will there be someone to help us tour the building at this time?
This is a self-guided experience. After picking up your supplies and a map, you have the opportunity to explore the building on your own.
I have a schedule conflict on my child's Walkthrough Day or time, can I come at another time?
Yes, of course! If you cannot attend on your child's designated day or time, you are more than welcome to come on the other day or at any time during the Walkthrough hours.
Lockers and ID Cards
Lockers - Students will be using hallway lockers to keep all belongings safe and secure during the school day. All backpacks and bags will need to be kept in these lockers. We will take our time with students who may be nervous about opening a combination lock. Staff members will be available to assist students as needed.
ID/Bus Cards - Students in grades 6 through 8 will again scan on and off the school bus each day using an ID card. Students will also receive lanyards on which to wear their IDs.
New ID cards for the 2022-2023 school year will be distributed during our Walkthrough Days on August 15th and 16th. Students who are unable to attend on August 15th or 16th will receive their ID cards on the first day of school.
