Important Dates and Information – Semester Two 2024

As we start a new semester, here are some reminders so students are off to a great
start.

 Students should be dropped off at school around 8:15 am. This gives
them time to go to their lockers and get to class before the bell rings at
8:30 am. If they are not in their classes by 8:30 am they are late for class.
 If picking up your child from school, please park in the parking lot and do
not block the fire routes.
 Keep in regular contact with your child’s teachers to ensure they are
keeping up with the requirements of the course. Plan to come to
Parent/Care-giver Night on March 29th with your child to meet their
teachers.
 Wishing your child, a great start to this semester.
