Students Schedules - First Day of Second Semester
We will be doing something different next semester; we will NOT be printing copies of student schedules for when we return in January. Just as you do when checking to see who your support time teacher is every 6 weeks, you will log in and check your schedule for when we return on January 12, 2026. For some of you, there might not be any changes others, there will be.
We will have tables located near the entrance for students as an "if needed" assistance with locating their schedule with their counselors, but no hard copies will be available. Schedule changes will not be discussed during this check-in time.
