Understanding how to report incidents of bullying and supporting students involved is crucial. Please familiarize yourself with the District’s two reporting forms: Safe2SaySomething and MSD Title IX Form. Additionally, students are welcomed and encouraged to report any suspected bullying to a trusted adult, counselor, or administrator.

Thank you for your commitment to our students’ well-being and safety. By working together and staying informed, we can ensure that our school remains a place where everyone can learn and thrive without fear of bullying.

School Rules Matter! School Rules Matter!

If your child is late to class or school three times or if he/she is using their cell phone at an inappropriate time, he/she will receive a detention. Detentions run from 2:30 - 3:30 Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Your child will choose the day.


If your child does not show up, you and your child will receive a message from the detention monitor, Ms. Quintois. She will schedule your child for another day. Please do not email Ms. Quintois about the detention. She is only the monitor and does not have any specifics about your child's misbehavior.


If your child does not attend the second detention, the assistant principals will become involved and you will be notified by one of them.
