Students will be entering by the upper entrance and the lower lobby on the first day. No students are to enter the Activities entrance. Hand sanitizer is to be used upon entrance and at the conclusion of all classes. A list of homeroom teachers will be posted at the entrances where students are to immediately report for the start of the day. At that time, students will get Chromebooks and a printed copy of their schedule. We will discuss our new expectations for student and staff safety and the changes to our schedules from previous years. Please note that students will be: -carrying bags and not to use lockers - Using screw top water bottles - Eating only during designated lunch time (Food is not to be consumed in class or the hallway)

HS Students: We are SO excited to have you all back with us as we start the 20-21 school year. We wanted to give you a heads up and let you know that the absolute last day to make schedule changes this year will be Wednesday, August 26th. No exceptions. Typically, you have about a week to 'try your schedule out' and make changes as needed, but because the schedule looks different this year, you won't have as many days once the school year starts to make changes. Please take a look at your schedule if you haven't already done so and let Mrs. Maas know what/if any changes need to be made. If you're having issues viewing your schedule or understanding how your schedule is going to work this year, please reach out!
