Thanks to our friends at Hi-Res Graphics, you can now purchase Gruening Spirit Wear for your student and yourself.

Few things to know:

- This store will be open all year long. 🙌

- Delivery options are pick-up in store or have items delivered to your home.

- Because purchasing and delivery is through Hi-Res, any questions you have about your order will need to go through them.

Way to go Royce, Benjamin, Isabella and Tori!

Whether your student is checking in late for school or leaving early, we want to make sure we are marking their attendance correctly.

On top of helping students, our Front Office staff have multiple calls coming in all day, and even though they do their best to answer all of the calls, they are only able to take one call at a time.

If you are able to put in an Early Release/Absence in ParentConnect, do not worry about calling! Our Front Office staff is notified and will make sure your student is taken care of.

If you do need to call in for an Early Release ("Blue Pass") pass, please make sure you give the Front Office as much time as possible to get the pass to your student. Our Front Office staff does their best to get passes to your student as soon as possible, but having ample amount of time to get the pass ready for our Office Aides to run is super helpful.

If you have any questions about the process, feel free to email:
