Happenings in Tech Ed and Reminder on SAFETY GLASSES here

Before School: There will be no parking in the drop-off zone. Once you enter the horseshoe driveway, your student can get out and walk the sidewalk into the building. You can then move into the left lane to exit. This will help expedite the drop off process in the morning. We do not expect students to have to be dropped off at the front door. Please be careful to check the left lane and signal before turning into that lane.

Important information - Please read the STUDENT DROP OFF and PICK UP process here!

Find information on Addressing Bullying in the Digital Age here

Please make sure to read through the information from the Nurse's office as there is a lot of information.
