Please head to the front office if your Gator is running late to get a tardy pass. Students will need to be checked in by a parent or guardian. Thank you for your cooperation with this new process.

APPA'S TURNING ONE! APPA'S TURNING ONE!

Appa our school facility dog is turning 1 Aug 1st. Instead of gifts for him he would love for our Gator Families that would like to do something for his birthday to donate items to Friends For Life Animal Rescue in his honor. They are a local rescue that is dedicated to the homeless and stray animals in our community.

Additionally, students will not be able to be signed out after 2:15 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and after 1:15 pm on Wednesdays. These changes are in place to prevent disruptions during dismissal time and allow our front office staff to focus on safely coordinating students' transportation at the end of the day.
