Dear Hawk Families,
Welcome to February! 💕
February is a time when we share how much we care for those around us.

Middle School students will be responsible for bringing their IDs each day. Any student without their ID will be required to pay $5 for a new one or serve detention after school from 3-3:30.

School Day begins at 7:50am
We Open our doors to students at 7:20am. We serve breakfast from 7:35-7:50 each day.
Instruction begins promptly at 7:50am. Any student who arrives after 7:50am is late and will be counted tardy. Excessive tardies may result in truancy and criminal charges may be filed.
Please ensure your child arrives prior to the beginning of the school day. Breakfast will not be served to students who arrive after 7:50am.
Any student who arrives after 8:05am must be signed into school by a parent or guardian.
Students are expected to come to school everyday with their district issued device and have it charged. This ensures they are ready to learn and access the curriculum.
If a student comes to school for two or more days in a row without their device, we assume it is lost, damaged or stolen and will contact the parent to begin assessing fees for the missing device. We do offer payment plans for devices and their parts, such as chargers.
