Free Winter Coats
As the winter weather approaches, we want to ensure all students are prepared and comfortable. If your child does not have a winter coat or is in need of one, please complete this form with the most accurate information. This will help us provide support to those who need it. At this moment we only have youth sizes coats which are Youth 10/12 and Youth 14/16. Adult sizes will be coming out soon.
We only have limited amount of sizes, please know first come first serve.
Attendance
Student attendance is crucial for academic success! It’s essential that students arrive at school every day and on time.
School starts at 8:00 AM, so students should be in the building beforehand to avoid being marked late. Students are allowed to come to school at 7:30 AM for breakfast/homework help.
If your child has a doctor’s appointment, please ensure they either:
- Come to school before the appointment and get picked up early, or
- Arrive at school after the appointment.
Whenever possible, try to schedule appointments outside of school hours to minimize missed instruction.
Important: If your child has an appointment, always bring a doctor’s note to submit at the main office.
If your child will be arriving late or absent due to a doctor’s appointment, please call the school to inform us.
