For the safety of our students and staff, we do not permit food delivery services (DoorDash, GrubHub, UberEats, etc.) to deliver food to students during the school day. Food that is delivered by a delivery service during the school day will be taken to the Main Office and the student will not be able to retrieve it until the end of the school day. If parents/guardians need to provide their students with items during the school day, they must deliver the items themselves in-person to the Main Office.
As a reminder, all students have access each day to free breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria.

Grade 9, 10, and 11 students have started the registration process for their courses for the 2024-2025 school year. This week, students participated in pre-registration lessons in Advisory.

- A Graduation requirement presentation and 4-year plan template to learn about courses and graduation requirements that students must enroll in each school year.
- Grade-level course planning guides to assist in course selection.
- Department-based presentations, handouts, and videos to acquaint you with our course offerings and course progressions.
- Contact information for our School Counselors and Department Instructional Coaches who are available to answer any academic planning questions that you have.
Research has shown that attendance is a leading predictor of academic achievement and adult success. Students who find attending school important are more likely to attain goals like attending trade school, college, or getting a job. By showing up to school every day, students develop a positive work ethic and prepare for future success by developing healthy and productive habits.
Our attendance goals this year are for students to maintain at least a 94% attendance rate and to reduce chronic absenteeism. A student that misses 10% or more of school days in chronically absent. By missing just 2 days a month, a student will be chronically absent. Use the "Attendance Tracker" and "Parent Tips" below to support your student in maintaining satisfactory attendance. Additionally, we will send parents/guardians a "Weekly Attendance Report" each Friday afternoon so you can track your student's daily and period attendance.
