Now more than ever, it is SO important we be there for one another and take steps to prevent suicide. Whether you have struggled with suicide yourself or lost a loved one, know that you are not alone! Reach out to your school counselor, a friend, or loved one if you're struggling or know someone who is struggling.

HS Activities/Athletics will continue in our Hybrid model. Students will not be allowed in the building until practice time or when a team leaves. We will need to continue to wear masks and social distance to limit the risk of our activities having to quarantine both inside and outside. That means everyone needs to maintain 6' distance between another person!
Going to a distance learning model for the high school for all students would result in all activities and athletics needing to be shut down. Let's do our part to help reduce the chances of that happening!
Attention HS Parents and Students:
Beginning on Tuesday, September 8th, the HS building will be switching to Hybrid Model. Students with last names A-L will attend in person on September 8th. The rest of the students will attend class virtually that day. Students with last names M-Z will attend class in person September 9th. Please see the linked letter for more details.
