We are incredibly relieved and happy to announce that Mia is now home and recovering! Dr. Luther was able to take over lunch and visit with her, bringing some much-needed support and cheer during this challenging time. We can’t wait until Mia is ready to join us back on campus, where her vibrant spirit has always been an inspiration to us all.

As many of you know, Mia was involved in a tragic car accident on September 29, which left her badly injured. Throughout this ordeal, our school community has come together to support Mia and her family, demonstrating the strength of our unity and compassion.

Mia’s recovery journey is just beginning, but we are encouraged by the positive progress she has made so far. Let's continue to keep her in our thoughts and send our love and support as she heals.

To honor Mia and show our solidarity, we encourage everyone to use the hashtag #MiaStrong💜 as we uplift her and her family during this time.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate through this difficult period together.

Thank you for reviewing our school's Cell Phone and Dress Code policies with your student.

We appreciate your support to ensure we are prioritizing an academic and healthy social emotional environment for our students.

Student cell phones are allowed, but must be kept off in and in the backpack at all times. Should a parent or guardian need to contact a student during the school day, they can do so by contacting the main office. Students also have access to the office phones as needed. Students violating the cell phone policy will have their phones confiscated. In the event a student’s cell phone is confiscated, it will be held in the attendance office and must be picked up by the student’s parent or guardian. LOST or STOLEN personal items are NOT the responsibility of the school to locate or replace.

School Uniforms and PE Clothes are available for purchase in the front office.

**Website for purchase COMING SOON
