Parents thank you for your patience last week with transportation. The car loop is moving much smoother and buses times are improving. Great Job! We appreciate your support in following our procedures as we try to keep everyone safe.

Please also make sure you have gone into your parent portal account and updated your information for this school year. This includes student access to library books in the media center.

In terms of safety this year- we have new protocols we are following. As a school district we have adopted a Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and Standard Reunifcation Method. More information can be found at iloveuguys.org.

School starts time is at 9:30 AM. Please try to arrive before 9:25 AM to ensure you can make it to 1st period on time.

Below is our school data breakdown for last year and our goals for this year!

Student drop-off begins no earlier than 9:00 am in the car-rider loop. Students are prohibited from being on campus before this time. The school does not have staff on duty until 9:00 am. Walkers are also not permitted to come around the gate until we open at 9:00 am. The YMCA provides before school care for parents that need it for a small fee. Any students on campus before arrival time need to register with the YMCA. Feel free to apply online through our website or inquire in the front office between 7:30 and 8:50 am daily. YMCA Mornings will start August 11. YMCA After School will start August 25. YMCA After School is Free, but students must register.

It is required for students to be in dress code and wear their ID around their neck each day. Please remind your student we will hold them to these expectations.

If your child misplaces their ID- they can request a new one at lunch. Continuous issues, will result in consequences.

All middle school sports require students to have a completed physical. Please note a physical is only good for 1 calendar year from the date of the physical. Parents must complete all paperwork on https://www.aktivate.com. We are not accepting paper copies. Parents must upload on aktivate.com.
