Transportation procedures! Do not change your child's transportation without notifying someone. The best way to ensure transportation changes are not unnoticed - call the school. Please do this before 2:00 if possible.

EARLY CHECK OUT - This is not a new thing. We do not allow early check outs after 2:30. Please make arrangements. Early checkouts will not be taken over the phone. You MUST have your ID.

BREAKFAST - Please make sure if you student wants to eat you get to school in time. They stop serving at 8:30 am.

Cafeteria Visitors- We will be allowing 5 visits per student each semester. This will be tracked. Thanks. PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF FAST FOOD FOR A STUDENT.

LUNCH - Please check our menu on the School Website and at the top of this newsletter. If your child will not eat (or can not eat due to allergies) please considered packing their lunch.

Please see the Nurse if you have any medical care plans or need help with one. Scan the QR codes here to be linked to any District Medical forms you may need for care plans. You can also scan the code for the Medical Authorization Form. This is a form that allows us to administer medication to your child.
