Welcome Back!

We are so excited to get this year started! This weekly newsletter will help keep you informed of important announcements and activities, as well as, supply you with helpful information. Please take a minute each week to look over it and reach out with any questions.
 

Be Ready for the First Day

The first day of school is a busy one! On this day students will receive their Chromebook, Yondr pouch with student ID for identification, and their student ID on a lanyard to wear. It is mandatory that your student wear their badge with their picture visible all day, every day. This is not only an important safety measure at our school, but also how students access cafeteria and library services. There is a $5 replacement fee for ID badges.
If your student did not return their Yondr pouch last year, they need to bring it on the first day. There is a $30 replacement fee for Yondr pouches. Any student with a phone and no pouch, will pick their phone up from the office at the end of the day.
Teachers will inform students of any needed supplies on the first day so they just need a notebook and pencil to begin.
