SCHOOL INFORMATION--Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have put the following measures in place to ensure the health and safety of our students, parents, staff, and community.  Those measures consists of admittance to the building by appointment only from 8 am to 1 p.m. Monday-Thursday.  The option to wear mask, face coverings, and/or gloves is left up to the visitor.  You can schedule your appointment by calling the office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 pm. Monday through Thursday.  A temperature check will be conducted before your appointment with a hand held thermometer.

Parents, guardians, and students registration is currently open for the 2020-2021 school year.  All registration is being handled through Parent Portal.  If you have questions or need assistance please call the school or schedule an appointment following the procedures outlined earlier.  Parents and guardians are also reminded to not attempt to pay any fees seen when you register until after July 15th.  Fees are still being adjusted, and we do not want you to have to repeat the process. 

Parents, we still have several students with textboooks out.  To avoid fees for lost textbooks, please communicate with your child and make a plan to return all textbooks to the school as soon as possible.  Textbooks can be dropped off Monday-Thursday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.  No appointment is needed to return textbooks.  There is a cart in front of the school.  Textbooks can be left on the cart.  The cart is brought inside daily and textbooks are scanned back into circulation.  If you are unsure if your child has a textbook out, please call the school between the previously mentioned hours.
