All students that are tardy, checking-in to school or checking out of school MUST GO THROUGH THE FRONT OFFICE. We have a new finger scan system in place (very similar to the lunchroom finger scan system) where each student will scan in or out with check-in/check-outs and tardies.

A parent, guardian, or someone on your check-out list MUST sign you out of school to checkout. This is the same as always. The student must then go through the office to scan out before leaving. This procedure must be followed.

We do not accept over the phone checkouts. Please do not call the school for a checkout. Someone on the students checkout list must come and sign the student out of school.

Please remember how important attendance at school is! Please don't checkout of school unless absolutely necessary. If you are absent, please turn excuses in to front office.

Students: Your preparation is everything. Preparation requires effort and determination. Whenever you are in a classroom, reading a book, or working on a project, you are able to prepare yourself for bigger and more challenging opportunities. Civil Rights leader, Whitney Young Jr, once said, "It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one, than to have an opportunity and not be prepared." If you choose not to use your time in class, you choose not to be prepared for future opportunities. Every chance you have to learn and improve your skills, take the time to give your best effort. By always doing your best, you will be ready for fantastic opportunities.

Please remember to follow our dress code policy! Remember - Cell phones are not allowed to be out or used in any classroom! Only clear or mesh backpacks allowed in classrooms. Fast food and outside drinks are not allowed in the building! Please throw this away before entering the building.

Students are not allowed to exit the building to go to your car, even if you forgot something you really need! If you need something, you have to go through the office and an admin or SRO will escort you to your vehicle. Disciplinary consequence will apply if you do not follow these procedures!

This will be enforced!
