Need to Know
- Students should not carry medication to school unless this has been approved by the school nurse per district policy. This includes bringing medications to and from school. All medications that are dropped of with the nurse require a doctor's order and parent signatures prior to being administered. There are unfortunately no exceptions.
- Our winter break is December 23rd through January 6th. Students will return on January 7th, 2025!!
- Check with your student and see if he/she needs any refreshing of supplies - especially pencils and wired headphones. We do have wired earbuds available in the library for $1.00. Thanks!
