We take the safety and security of our students and our campus very seriously. All statements that raise concerns about the safety of our campus are immediately and thoroughly investigated to ensure the safety of our students.

We would like to take this time to remind students that their actions and words have consequences. This is a reminder to speak with your child that safety is nothing to joke about. We encourage you to speak to your child about the implications of joking or making false statements relating to campus or school safety. We also encourage parents to discuss social media usage with students and being responsible while on-line. Resources are available here: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles

Student led conferences will be held on October 14, 2024. These will be used as our parent conferences and students will be working on projects to show what they have been doing in class and will be ready to review their work with their parents.
