Semester exams are approaching! As a reminder, final exams are only for students enrolled in high school credit courses. Encourage your child to review, complete study guides, and rest well.

If your child needs a replacement ID badge due to loss or damage, there is a $5.00 fee. Here’s how the process works:

1. Submit a Request: Use the Microsoft form to enter your child’s name and ID number.
2. Fee Assignment: The campus will assign the $5.00 fee to your student’s Skyward account.
3. Payment: Payments can only be made online through Skyward. Please do not use cash, check, money order, or the school’s Revtrak webstore.

For detailed instructions on finding and paying the fee in Skyward, please refer to the job aid provided.
