Families are encouraged to purchase your yearbooks now before the early bird special ends on September 5th. From now until September 5th, basic yearbooks cost $38, and students can pick 4 Free Icons when they purchase a personalized yearbook. After September 5th, the basic yearbook price increases to $40, and yearbook icons are no longer free.
Wear your ID badge on your break-away lanyard (around your neck) everyday during school. Store your ID in your bookbag each day after school to ensure it returns back to school with you. Extra IDs may be purchased for $5 in the Media Center. Students without ID must get a Temporary ID. Upon requesting your 5th temporary ID, students will have an ID Badge printed and the $5 will be charged to their student account and need payment to clear the debt. See Student ID Badge Policy for full details.
Students have received their Chromebooks and signed their Student User Agreement & Handbook Acknowledgment form. Students should charge their Chromebook each night, and chargers should remain at home. Students with a lost or damaged charger are charged $35 for a replacement.
Please make sure your school outfits follow the Dress Code.
Cell phones and other personal communication devices must be silenced and put away from 7:30am - 3:25pm. Students observed using their cell phone, smart watch, or personal electronic devices will be directed to lock up these items for the remainder of the day in a school locker.
All students this year have the opportunity to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost to families. Students may purchase alternative menu options or buy extra “a la carte” items. Students can not have food or drinks outside of the cafeteria. Students are permitted to have a water bottle with a lid.
Students who plan to eat breakfast and attend morning wellness must eat breakfast first. Students who are at morning wellness are not permitted to return to the cafeteria.
Car line procedures are posted on the website. Students are not allowed to be dropped off or picked up off campus. Students that are car riders are expected to have their ride on campus before 3:45pm. All car riders must be picked up by 4:00pm.
Our school building opens for students at 7:30 AM, and all students need to be picked up by 4:00 PM. Our office hours are 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
Please remember, students planning to have an early dismissal should come to the front office upon arrival at school on the day of their dismissal and turn in a parent note. The student will receive a dismissal pass slip. The student will then show the teacher this slip as they arrive at the beginning of the class period in which they have the early dismissal. It is the student’s responsibility to watch the clock, remind the teacher and leave a few minutes early in order to be in the office at the time of the dismissal. Don’t have a note? Come to the office anyway to notify the office and get your dismissal pass. Dismissals that are not prearranged require staff to call into classrooms which interrupts classroom instruction and hinders focus and productivity.
