School Lunches
Our 7th and 8th grade students will have lunch in our cafeteria. Due to spacing and seating limitations, our 6th graders will enjoy lunch in their C-Block classroom.
School Picture Day
We are pleased that Geskus Studios will be able to take school photos for us this year. Please note that Picture Day is scheduled for September 15th. We have scheduled our Picture re-take day for October 20th.
Student Dismissals (and Re-entry)
Please make every effort to schedule appointments outside of the school day whenever possible. In the event you need to dismiss your child for an appointment we ask that you send in your student that morning with a note indicating the time and destination of the appointment. We would request that if your child will be returning to the school the same day that they wear a mask while at their appointment. Students should sign out in the main office when leaving and upon return.
Have a great weekend!
