ASSISTANCE
Parents,.
We are looking for parent volunteers to help monitor our faculty parking lot in the mornings to help remind parents this is not a drop off zone for students. If you have some spare time in the mornings, we could use your help from 7:15 am – 7:45 am. Please come check in with us in the front office when you arrive. Thanks so much!
REMINDER TO PARENTS
Please make sure your student is arriving to school on time. If your student is late to school, please understand this is still considered a tardy for him/her unless we have a medical note from a doctor excusing the late arrival. School starts at 7:45 am and students are considered late if they are not seated in class by the tardy bell, which rings at 7:50 am. Thank you for helping to make sure your student is at school on time and in class, ready to learn!
