Please see pertinent information below as you plan and prepare for supporting your child's initial and sustained success. As always, thank you for sharing your child(ren) with us.

See you at the Open House on Wednesday!

Please bring to the office any registration paperwork still needed for your student's file.

Bring the punch card that was included in the placement letter. Complete everything on the punch card and enter your child in a drawing which will take place the first week of school. Prizes TBD. We will have extra punch cards in the office if you misplace or forget to bring it.

Come and enjoy activities on the high school practice field prior to the varsity football game.

If you haven't already done so, please login to your parent portal account and complete the demographic update ASAP. This is a requirement at the beginning of each school year. Once you get the account set up, you will need to complete the demographic update. This process allows you to update emergency contacts, review technology use guidelines and the handbook, and give consent for field trips for your student. If you are having troubles with username, password, or access codes, please call the office for assistance. Attached is a document with step by step instructions for completing the demographic update and linking siblings. Thank you for giving immediate attention to this matter. A computer is necessary for the completion of this process. The computer lab will be available at open house.

Sponsored by the PTO. More information coming soon.
