Student of the Week

Zykie is our student of the week and we are so proud of his generosity in helping his peers. He was seen helping students in Ms. Bullock's science class entering in their learning platforms and assisting students as necessary. He is a real helper in the class and we are thankful for his support in his peers' learning!

Important Information

During the drill, which will last approximately 30 minutes, the front office will be closed as all staff members will be in lockdown mode.

To register for the portal, you must bring photo identification to the school to receive your personal registration code, linking you to your student. Office hours are 7:30am-4:00pm each day.
