Please help us keep our students safe and healthy while also helping us maintain a clean learning environment. We ask that students do not bring sodas, energy drinks, coffee, or other specialty drinks to school.
Students are welcome to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. Water fountains are also available for students to use before and after classes.
