From the HelmKeeping the Crew up to Date! Volume 2 Issue 2 -8/25/23

Greetings Clipper Nation!

It is with great pleasure I welcome you to the official start of the school year. I am excited to get back on the ship, leave the dock, and cruise through 2023-2024. This year we are focused on doing things together. "Together is Better!"

Back to School Welcome Video

When we return to school, your high schooler's most needed school supply is their laptop. We want to make every effort to get laptops into the hands of students before the first day. Please review the dates and times for your student's grade so you or your student can stop by the school and pick up their laptop.


*This year damaged laptops will result in fines and an office referral. Please encourage your student to be careful with their laptops.

*When looking at your schedule online, select the matrix view. The matrix view is much easier to read.
