We will follow our Thursday bell schedule which includes conference period from 8:00-8:55 am. Students will pick up a printed-out schedule in the courtyard that will be a specific color and will be their ticket in the door to their classes (a new schedule must be picked up on this day by all students). Breakfast is served beginning at 7:30 am and first period starts at 9:00 am. School bus transportation always picks up and drops off at the same time even when conference period is scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There will be adults around campus helping students get to their classes.
