Thank you for helping your students have a great first full week of school! They are already working hard in classes as well is in their extracurricular activities, despite this intense heat and the water issues.

To accommodate our extracurricular activities, we have shifted our Curriculum Night to September 11th from 5:30-7:30 and hope you can join us for the evening to walk your student's their schedules and meet their teachers. I will be sending more detailed information as we get closer to the date.

Finally, a shout out to parents in the pick up lines, dismissal has been amazing! Thank you to everyone for their patience as we work to connect you with your student after school.

As a reminder, please do NOT park at the Paddocks and ask your child to meet you there. This is an enormous safety concern as there is not an adult to assist students crossing the road.

Go Knights!

Homework hall is for students to stay after Monday through Thursday to work on assignments in a quiet space. Student do not need to sign up for homework hall in advance. Please note that students staying for homework hall need to have a ride ready to pick them up at 5:15 at the front of the school.

It's time for school photos!

On Wednesday, September 4th all students will take their picture for the yearbook. If you would like to order pictures for your student, please use THIS LINK to do so.

It is our priority to keep students and staff safe and focused on high quality education. Therefore, we respectfully require that all visitors sign-in at the office upon entering through the front doors and wear a visitor’s badge while in the building. The badge verifies that you have checked in the office, presented proper identification and made clear the purpose for your visit. In addition, you must have a pre-scheduled meeting with your child's teacher in order to have a parent-teacher conference.

For the first two weeks of school, we will not have visitors for lunch. This allows students time to adjust to school procedures as well as build relationships with classmates.

Deliveries of forgotten items to students should be limited, so that important instructional time is not interrupted. Parents needing to drop off a lunch or other school items to their child will be able to do so by dropping the labeled item(s) in the Main Office. Items will be delivered to the students as soon as possible.

We do not allow lunch deliveries from outside vendors (Grub Hub, Uber Eats, Door Dash etc.).

Documentation such as doctors notes for absences can also be uploaded through Skyward. NEW for the 2024 - 2025 school year: Notes for absences can be attached to the absence request at the time of submission or up to 3 days after the absence. This can be done by uploading the note when submitting the request or by navigating to the “Absence Requests” tab and selecting the absence that has already been submitted and selecting edit.

Any absences or early release requests submitted for the same day will be accepted prior to 3:00 pm through Skyward. Students will not be released to walk-ups requests after 3:40 pm until dismissal at 4:10 pm. Any doctor’s notes or other documentation for the absences must be received within 3 days after the student returns to school.

While our campus leadership team works collaboratively with all students and teachers, the following information should help you reach the appropriate administrator or counselor for your child's grade level should a concern or question arise. We are committed to serving our students and appreciate the opportunity to work together with families to support our learners. Towards the start of the new school year, each counselor and Assistant Principal will be assigned new duties to individual grade levels, and we will share that information with families and students at that time. In the interim, please feel free to reach out to any member of our leadership team for assistance.
