The Weekly Wildcat ROAR

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for an awesome first week! We appreciate your patience and support as we worked out transportation issues, especially with the lovely weather we had on day 1. It is always easier when we all work together to support the students.

As a reminder, car riders should be dropped off using the Pine Street entrance from 7-7:45. After 7:45, car riders will use the Hardin Street entrance. All car riders will be dismissed from the Pine Street entrance. Car riders should be picked up by 2:45 each day. If your child's transportation changes, we must have that in writing. We cannot accept changes via phone calls. Also, students cannot be signed out after 2:00 due to the need to keep the lot on Hardin Street clear for bus traffic.

All visitors to the building must successfully pass through the weapons detection system before being able to access the front office. Visitors should always have their ID on hand for entry or to sign a student out. Only those listed in PowerSchool will be granted access to students.

Thank you for your help in keeping our Wildcats safe!
