ICU will continue each week during lunches. This is a time where students come to the library with their lunch to get caught up on missing assignments. We have teachers and administrators avaliable to help and support students during this time. Parents will recieve a text and email notification when/if their student gets placed on the ICU list. This is not a punishment but a way to communicate that your student has an essential assignment missing.

Students that participate in panther refule will be charged the same fee as they would for breakfast. If students decided to get breakfast then it will be $1.50 for refuel.

Ms. Engler met with all 9th grade students through their social studies classes to discuss the graduation requirements of community service learning. All 9th grade students are required to obtain 75 hours of community service learning as part of their graduation requirements. We will be offering 15 hours of that during their 9th grade year. The informational forms and online reflection link that students will use moving forward 9th-12th are located on the school website under "for families", "counseling page". They will also have access under the JH student quick links while they are at the Junior High.
