Stop In The Office
Is your child arriving late to school? - they must stop in the office
Is your child returning from an appointment? - they must stop in the office
Is your child leaving during the day? - they must stop in the office

Please remind your child that anytime they are arriving or leaving school (other than beginning and end of day) they must stop in the office.

Free Breakfast! Free Lunch!
Reminder that both breakfast and lunch are free everyday to ALL students. We encourage our students to take full advantage of this.
Did you know?

You can pick up breakfast and lunch on your off day between 12:30 & 1:00
You can pick up breakfast as you leave at the end of the day (eat it as a snack that day or save it for breakfast on your off day)
Participating in the free breakfast/free lunch helps to financially support our school nutrition program

Reminder: Wash those masks!
To help prevent the growth of bacteria a fresh, clean mask should be worn each day.

It's a good idea for students to keep an extra mask in their backpack (in a ziploc bag to keep it clean) for times when they forget their mask or for times when the mask they wear gets dirty during the school day.

Livestream for athletic events.
