Welcome back, Buccaneers! I want to share some helpful tips with you as we get back into the rhythm of school.

• Deliveries: If you drop off an item for your student, it is their responsibility to come to the office to pick it up. We recommend sending an email to let them know they have something waiting in the office and we will do our best to notify them as well.

• Food Delivery for Students: Deliveries from Uber/Doordash/etc. is prohibited. Parent/Guardian food drop off is permitted, but for your student only. You may not bring food for other students.

• ID Badges: If your student loses their ID badge, replacements are $5 for the badge only and $10 for a badge & accessories. Students can come to the office to get their new badge printed. We accept cash and check only.

• Student Check Outs: We do our best to make the student check-out process as smooth as possible. To check out your student during school hours, come to the main office with your ID any time before 3:40pm. You do not need to notify us ahead of time as we cannot call students to the office before you arrive. Additionally, please understand that check-out could take anywhere from 5-10 minutes, ESPECIALLY on Holiday weekends. Please take this into consideration when planning your pick-up time.

• Admin/Counselor Meetings: If you need to speak with your student's grade level Counselor, Assistant Principal, or the Principal, you must schedule an appointment in advance. Please email them directly:
