Students who take Behind the Wheel classes through a local driving school must have a parent call them in each time, just like any other request for a student to leave school. We are not affiliated with any driving school and they do not communicate with us regarding lessons nor do they let us know of any cancellations or changes in regard to weather.
Also, because we do not offer driver's ed classes, these absences do count toward student's 10 occurrences and are parent excused as long as they are within those ten days.

If you are looking for possible Driver's Education classes, including Behind the Wheel, these are companies that have let us know they are in our area:

• Cruisin' Safely at https://www.cruisinsafely.com/drivers-education
• Ries Driving School at https://riesdrivingschool.com/

That's right! Yearbooks are on sale now!!

You are now able to personalize your yearbook cover, and you can share your photos and tag your friends! Scan the QR code below to get started!

• Step 2: Student collects an excused slip from the office with the medical note.

• Step 3: Student gives the excused slip to their coach/advisor before participating.

A parent may call a student in for personal reasons as long as they arrive before 2nd hour and are within their 10 excused absences for the year. Unexcused absences mean no participation until the next full day. Final decisions rest with the Dean of Students or Principal.
