Updates and Important Information
1) Important School Procedures: Please see the following procedures and ensure your son/daughter is following them correctly. School procedures are in place and imperative for the safety of our students. Any questions/concerns please notify the school.
- SIGN-IN: If I student is late coming to school (after bell time) they must report to the office and sign-in using our sign-in form at the desk or on their phone.

The student is expected to attend whatever reason they are gaining permission and return to class promptly.
