Fall Check-In
Students, please join us on 21 July 2025 between 8:00-11:00 am; 12:00-3:00 pm for Fall Check-In.
During this time, students can view their schedules, pay fees, find information about clubs/activities, sign up for a locker, get vision/hearing screenings, and speak to front office staff for back to school support. Students, you can come in as your schedule permits; this should not take all day.
Important Note: school supply lists are provided by teacher after the first day of school. There are no school-wide supply lists.
We look forward to seeing you!

Helpful Hints and Information
General Information
- Students, check your email daily starting at the end of July.
- Come to school daily and strive to arrive on time. Missing time in school can become stressful as classes are hosted every other day. This means that more learning takes place every class meeting.
- Applying for free/reduced lunch can bring benefits beyond the lunchroom, including discounted rates for activities and similar. Apply today to see if your family qualifies!

C Days: periods 1-4; Monday, Wednesday, and alternating Fridays
