All freshmen! Please stop in the Cafeteria when you arrive at school on Tuesday morning. We will have a copy of your schedule for you. This will assist you navigate your first day given that you do not have your Chromebooks yet.

All freshmen will receive their Chromebooks on Tuesday during the Advisory period.

Below you will find the 2025 Student Handbook. Please use the link to review school and district policies, procedures and expectations. The Student Handbook also provides detailed information regarding school programming, extracurricular activities and athletics. It is an excellent resource for students and families.

Students will receive a student and parent/guardian sign-off during the first days of school. This sign-off sheet indicates your awareness of our procedures and expectations.

As we all know, Attendance Matters!

• Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track for graduation.
• Frequent absences can be a sign that your student is struggling with school work or another stressor
• That 9th grade attendance is a better predictor of graduation than 8th grade testing

We have worked to strengthened our expectations and supports to improve student attendance. Please be aware that consequences for student tardiness and attendance have been aligned with the state's Attendance Matters campaign and can be found in our Student Handbook on page 10.

All students will be receiving lunch program information during Advisory during the first week of school. It is important for all families to review and fill out this form. If you are unsure of whether or not you qualify, please complete the form and send it in. We are also asking any family that does not qualify to write their names on the form and N/A across the front.

We thank you for your participation in this effort
