Media Center
Students, please return any overdue books to the Media Center as soon as possible.
Winter Coats
Students-If you need a winter coat, please stop by the main office or the counseling office. We have many coats to give students.
Student Attendance
Daily attendance is necessary for a student to be successful at school. In addition, patterns of regular attendance and on-time arrival established now will help students throughout their education and their employment years.
If a student’s absence or tardy is excused, they should bring a note from a parent or guardian excusing them. Failure to bring a note within three days will automatically be considered unexcused.
Student’s attendance and tardies are monitored by the school. Beginning Marking Period 3 on January 29, 2019, students will be receiving consequences after three tardies to school.
Women’s Choir
Women’s choir is canceled until April due to the preparation for the upcoming choral festival. It will start again on April 2.
