Other items, such as the Chromebook Protection Plan and yearbooks, can also be paid through My School Fees under “optional fees.” All credit card transactions, whether in person or online, will incur a $2 fee as directed by district finance policy.

This year, our school is excited to introduce SmartPass as our new hall pass system. SmartPass is a digital platform designed to streamline and enhance the process of managing student movement throughout the school day. With SmartPass, students will be able to request and track their hall passes electronically helping to ensure a more efficient and secure environment. This system will also allow teachers and staff to monitor hall pass usage in real-time, further supporting a safe and organized school experience. We appreciate your cooperation as we transition to this new system and encourage you to reach out to administration with any questions or concerns. Please remember to always check in or out at the office!

Thank you-
